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

introductionThe school-to-work transition (SWT) is complex for young people. The postpandemic era, characterized by rapidly evolving economies and technologies, has augmented the complexity of negotiating such pathways. Despite this, young people-understood here through the lens of emergent adulthood-are often positioned as wholly responsible for navigating their own pathways beyond school.

methodsA pragmatic case study approach was used to analyze qualitative data collected from three SWT partnership programs (UniHub, Australian School-based Apprenticeships [ASbAs], and Regional Learning Pathways [RLPs]) aimed at young people (2018-2023) in regional areas of Tasmania, Australia. For each program, participants were interviewed (N = 6 [UniHub]; N = 23 [ASbAs]; N = 44 [RLPs]) and surveyed (N = 350 [UniHub]; N = 21 [ASbAs]), and data were thematically analyzed to identify the role of boundary-crossers in SWT partnerships.

resultsBoundary-crosser work emerged as a key component of the sampled SWT partnerships. Enabling features of boundary-crossing work in partnerships include accessibility, support contextualized to the region and individual-like reducing barriers to equity-and using clear communication approaches. This role redistributed responsibility in the SWT to a partnership between schools, pathways, and young people.

conclusionsWhereas literature and policy underscore the economic and developmental importance of SWT, the contribution of this article is research and data that nuance understanding of how SWT partnerships can share the responsibility of the SWT by designing in the program a boundary-crosser role. The concept of boundary-crosser work in SWT partnerships offers a novel approach for policymakers in policy and practice to rethink how the SWT is supported.
