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

backgroundOptimizing the development of adolescents in the post-pandemic era is an urgent concern. As an active initiative, the "Tin Ka Ping P.A.T.H.S. Project", rooted in the "Positive Youth Development (PYD)" approach, represents a curriculum-based program aimed at fostering the psychosocial competence and well-being of adolescents. This study presents evaluation findings of the program's effectiveness during the 2022-2023 academic year.

methodsUsing a validated "36-item Subjective Outcome Evaluation scale (SOES)", we evaluated perceptions of 2165 junior students (M

resultsReplicating our previous findings before and during the pandemic, the 36-item SOES exhibited satisfactory validity and reliability in the current study. Students commonly provided favorable evaluations regarding program quality, implementer quality, and perceived benefits. Senior-grade students were more likely to perceive the program more positively.

conclusionsThese replications underscore the generalizability of the robustness of the 36-item SOES as a reliable evaluation measurement tool across different time periods and research backgrounds. The participants' positive responses indicated the positive impact of the "Tin Ka Ping P.A.T.H.S. Project" in enhancing the psychosocial competence and well-being of the students across background contexts and time periods.
