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

introductionThere is growing interest in the developmental consequences of extracurricular activities. While past research has mostly focused on the direct effect of extracurricular activities on outcomes (Farb and Matjasko 2012; Marsh and Kleitman 2002), the current study used a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework to test a serial mediation model in which self-determined motivation for extracurricular activities was positively associated with indicators of students' functioning through the mediating role of self-determined school motivation and psychological need satisfaction in school. Moreover, the current study aimed at testing SDT's claim that psychological need satisfaction is universally applicable across contexts and cultures.

methodA total of 886 high-school students (M

resultsFindings of a cross-sectional mediation model revealed that across cultures, self-determined motivation for extracurricular activities was positively associated with indicators of academic functioning for student and teacher-rated outcomes through the mediating effects of self-determined academic motivation and psychological need satisfaction in school.

conclusionThese findings underscore the importance of students' perceptions of motivation and psychological need satisfaction in demonstrating how extracurricular activities may be positively related to school functioning across cultures.
