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

This article reports on a short-term longitudinal study exploring self-reported and behavioural procrastination of 298 German university students taking a 15-week statistics course. More specifically, associations between the Dark Triad traits and two self-report procrastination measures and one behavioural procrastination task (i.e., a comparison between actual and planned study time) were examined. Both psychopathy and narcissism were correlated with self-report and behavioural procrastination, but Machiavellianism was unrelated to either type of procrastination. Self-report and behavioural measures of procrastination were only weakly related. Our results suggest that behavioural and self-report measures of procrastination capture different aspects and processes of procrastination.
