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

Goals, outcome expectations, and normative beliefs constitute schemas which are thought to affect social information processing and behavior. The aim of this review is to enhance the theoretical framework that elucidates the role of schemas in the occurrence of aggressive behavior in children and adolescents. Empirical and meta-analytic studies on goals, outcome expectations, and normative beliefs in children and adolescents with aggressive behavior are first discussed. Next, areas for future research are specified, in particular the mechanisms involved in the relation between social experiences, schemas, social information processing, and aggressive behavior. According to extant research, we suggest that schemas help elucidate the impact of aggressive children's and adolescents' social experiences on their social information processing and, ultimately, their behavior. Therefore, we consider how schemas can be integrated in cognitive behavioral therapy with the objective of achieving long-term changes in adaptive social behavior among children and adolescents with aggressive behavior.
