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.
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: The scientific evidence has demonstrated that other-oriented perfectionism is negatively related to internalizing and externalizing problems only in adults. However, there is a disagreement about how this perfectionistic dimension is associated with prosocial behavior in adults and adolescents. Moreover, there is a lack of knowledge about how other-oriented perfectionism is associated with those variables in youth population. For this reason, the aims of this study were to: (1) examine differences between students with high and low scores on internalizing and externalizing problems, and prosocial behavior based on other-oriented perfectionism; and (2) determine the likelihood of exhibiting high levels of these indexes based on perfectionism scores. Method: 681 students aged 12 to 16 ( Results: The three indexes (i.e., internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and prosocial behavior) were calculated as the mean of the subscales that composed each index. After obtaining the total scores of internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and prosocial behavior, the scores of each were dichotomized into high and low scores. Student's t-test reported significant differences between students with high and low scores on the three indexes based on the other-oriented perfectionism dimension. Furthermore, the logistic regression analysis reported that the probability of exhibiting a high level of internalizing and externalizing problems increases for each point increase in other-oriented perfectionism. Contrarily, the likelihood of displaying a high index of prosocial behavior decreases for each point increase in this perfectionistic dimension. Discussion: The results suggest the maladaptive role of other-oriented perfectionism, underscoring the need for further research on how this perfectionistic dimension impacts the educational environment.
