School dropout among children aged 5-17 in Türkiye and related factors: a logistic regression analysis.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSchool dropout remains a significant concern in Türkiye, especially for children aged 5–17. This study aims to identify key factors associated with dropout risk using a nationally representative dataset.
methodsUsing microdata from the 2019 Child Labour Survey conducted by TurkStat, binary logistic regression analysis with sampling weights was performed. Logistic regression, a non-parametric statistical method, is used when the dependent variable is categorical with exactly two outcomes. Average marginal effects were calculated to interpret the influence of independent variables, including demographic, parental, and household characteristics.
resultsThe likelihood of school dropout was higher among girls, older children (ages 15–17), those from large households, working children, and those with caregiving responsibilities. For instance, children working in agriculture were 30.6% more likely to drop out. Conversely, parental employment, maternal education, and participation in household chores reduced dropout probability.
conclusionEffective interventions should promote girls’ education, reduce caregiving responsibilities, and improve economic support for families. Policies must be regionally adapted and culturally sensitive to ensure equal educational opportunities for all children in Türkiye.
