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

To assess country-level progress toward these educational goals it is important to monitor trends in educational outcomes over time. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how optimally predictive growth models can be constructed to monitor the pace of progress at which countries are moving toward (or way from) the education sustainable development goals as specified by the United Nations. A number of growth curve models can be specified to estimate the pace of progress, however, choosing one model and using it for predictive purposes assumes that the chosen model is the one that generated the data, and this choice runs the risk of "over-confident inferences and decisions that are more risky than one thinks they are" (Hoeting et al., 1999). To mitigate this problem, we adapt and apply
