Pupils' aggressive behaviour towards teachers: types, frequencies, and the role of social capital examined in a follow-up study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPupils' aggressive behaviour towards teachers is widespread. This study examined the prevalence and types of pupils' aggressive behaviour towards teachers across different grades and the associations between social capital and the risk of pupils' aggressive behaviour in a one-year follow-up study design.
methodsWe collected questionnaire data from 2018 to 2019 and 2019-2020. A total of 1198 teachers from 94 schools in Denmark participated in both rounds. The associations were analysed via multilevel logistic regressions.
resultsTeachers are frequently exposed to pupils' aggressive behaviour, particularly those teaching the youngest pupils. Being called degrading names was the most frequent type of harassment, being yelled in a threatening manner was the most frequent type of threat, and being hit was the most frequent type of physical violence. Social capital (bonding) at baseline was statistically significantly associated with a reduced risk of pupils' harassment and threats one year later. Furthermore, social capital (linking) at baseline was statistically significantly associated with a reduced risk of threats each year.
conclusionSocial capital can reduce the risk of pupils' aggressive behaviour in the form of harassment and threats. Therefore, fostering a supportive climate in which teachers can openly discuss pupils' aggressive behaviour with their colleagues and supervisors is recommended.
