1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: This study investigates the bidirectional relationship between earlier sense of school belonging and later academic achievement in schoolchildren at grades 4 and 5 in US schools, using ECLS-K:2011 longitudinal data. Methods: Two alternative estimation methods were used, both addressing biases due to endogenous covariates. Results and discussion: The findings (sample size > 8,000 observations) provide strong evidence that (1) the dominant effect is from sense of school belonging to achievement, where lower bound effect sizes are substantially larger than those reported in correlational studies; and (2) in the opposite direction biases are small, and bias-corrected effect estimates are generally in line with the multiple regression estimates. The findings also provide suggestive evidence of larger effects for girls compared to boys in the direction from sense of school belonging to achievement scores. The study's findings provide useful insights into the potential impact of school-based interventions.
