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

Introduction: School absenteeism represents a concern for students, educators, and parents alike. Teachers' involvement is vital to students' school life. Consequently, integrating schools and teachers effectively in absenteeism interventions is of great importance. However, few studies have investigated teachers' perspectives on participating in manual-based, indicated interventions to promote school attendance. This study aimed to explore teachers' experiences with the manual-based Back2School (B2S) intervention, which is based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Methods: Seven primary and lower secondary school teachers agreed to participate in individual interviews following their involvement in the intervention. These teachers engaged in various aspects of the intervention, including data collection, school sessions, and school meetings involving students, parents, and B2S group leaders. Results: The results indicate that some of the informants experienced increased competence and self-efficacy regarding school absenteeism following the intervention, while other informants did not have this experience. Discussion: There is a need for more clarity and enhanced teacher involvement in future B2S interventions.
