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

introductionAs active coping strategies support the development and adjustment of Latinx adolescents, it is important to identify periods of growth and decline. Yet, no work has examined trajectories of active coping within the unique developmental context of Latinx adolescents. The purpose of this study was to (a) examine changes in active coping strategies during the transition from middle to high school (Goal 1) and (b) explore variations in the trajectories of active coping by gender and nativity (Goal 2) among Latinx adolescents.

methodUsing latent growth curve analysis, trajectories of active coping strategies across the transition from middle to high school, (i.e., 3 time points, 8th grade, 9th grade, and 10th grade) were examined among 288 Latinx adolescents at ages 13 to15 at Time 1 (M

resultsThe study found stability in the trajectory of active coping during the transition from 8th to 9th grade, but a significant curvilinear decline in active coping during the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade; there were no differences in the trajectory of active coping by gender and nativity.

conclusionThe findings suggest that the transition from 9th grade to 10th grade is a sensitive period that clinical and educational program administrators may want to target when focusing on developing active coping among Latinx adolescents.
