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

Research on adolescent aloneness and well-being yielded mixed results and adolescents' specific motivations for spending time alone remain underexamined from a qualitative perspective. High-ability adolescents have been proposed to experience a greater affinity for aloneness than typical adolescents, yet empirical evidence on this differential need and specific motivations for time spent alone is lacking. This mixed-method study examined motivations underlying time spent alone, their relations to psychosocial well-being, and differences between high-ability and typical adolescents in a matched sample. The sample consisted of 540 adolescents (M
