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

Introduction: To address the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving career landscape on adolescent development, this study systematically reviews career intervention pathways for middle school students. Methods: It explores the theoretical frameworks, intervention structures, evaluation systems, and outcomes associated with career interventions at middle school educational stage. Seven key terms, three databases, and four eligibility criteria were established for the review. Out of 417 articles collected, 21 were selected for comprehensive analysis. Results: The results indicate that the theoretical framework for middle school career interventions includes career theory and psychotherapy, with the main intervention approach group-based. The evaluation system typically relies on quasi-experimental pre- and post-test assessments. The outcomes demonstrate positive developments in career decisionmaking and career adaptability. Discussion: This study emphasizes the critical role of career interventions and educational programs during middle school, advocating for their integration into the curriculum to support students' career development.
