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

Many youth experience negative behavior from their peers, which can have lasting consequences for their social functioning and well-being. One mechanism through which negative interactions affect youth is causal attributions, that is, the interpretations that they make for why a negative interaction occurred. We present the newly developed CAPE (Causal Attributions for Peer Experiences) scale, which assesses youth's stable internal, unstable internal, stable external, and unstable external attributions for peers' mean behavior. Self-blame (characterological and behavioral) and hostile intent attributions were positively correlated, and although there is heterogeneity between individuals, latent profile analysis shows that subgroups moderate or high on all blaming attributions exist. Moreover, all types of attributions are related to youth's socio-emotional functioning, and youth with a profile of both strong self-blame and strong hostile intent attributions experience the most internalizing and externalizing problems, as well as victimization.
