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

School interethnic climate has interpersonal and intrapersonal implications for adolescent development, but little is known of how it influences their psychological adjustment over time, let alone what drives this influence. This study examined whether two components of identity-school belonging perceptions and ethnic-racial identity beliefs-mediate the association between 10th grade perceptions of school interethnic climate and 12th grade psychological adjustment. The analytic sample includes 849 students (50% girls; 30% Latinx, 27% White, 16% Asian/Pacific Islander, 18% Multiethnic, 6% African American/Black, 3% Other). Data were collected across three grade levels (Grade 10 age
