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

The issue of students dropping out before completing secondary education is a global concern with significant individual and societal consequences. Various terms, such as Early School Leaving (ESL), Early Leaving from Education and Training (ELET), and school dropout, reflect different policy perspectives on this phenomenon. Despite international efforts to address school dropout, a comprehensive review identifying areas with strong evidence and research gaps is lacking. This Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) systematically reviews the evidence on programs aimed at reducing school dropout and improving intermediate outcomes (e.g., educational performance, attendance). Following the 2011 European Council Recommendations, interventions are categorized into three domains: prevention, intervention, and compensation. The EGM will provide school and policy decision-makers, as well as program developers, with an overview of research evidence useful for guiding efforts to reduce school dropout and design effective programs. By pinpointing research gaps, the EGM will help identify critical areas where further investigation is needed to better understand and address the impact of school dropout programs.
