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

Classroom environment may play a significant role in shaping adolescent development. This one-year longitudinal study investigated the moderating effects of classroom cultural norms on the relations between aggression and adjustment among Chinese adolescents. Participants included 2,671 students (47.7% boys) in middle schools, initially in 7th grade (M age = 12.91 years), in China. Data on self- and group-orientations, aggression, and adjustment variables were obtained from multiple sources including self-reports, peer nominations, teacher ratings, and school records. Classroom group-oriented norm significantly moderated the relations between aggression and later adjustment. More specifically, aggression was negatively associated with academic and social competence in classrooms with higher scores on group-oriented norm. Aggression was also positively associated with distinguished studentship and negatively associated with loneliness in classrooms with lower scores on group-oriented norm. The results suggested that adolescents who were more aggressive performed worse in classrooms with a higher group-oriented norm and better in classrooms with a lower group-oriented norm. The study indicates that the context of classroom may affect school and psychosocial adjustment of adolescents high on aggression.
