Determinants of school dropout in the Asenze cohort study in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

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
South Africa remains characterised by high rates of school dropout, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The consequences lead to compromised employment opportunities and other negative social and health outcomes associated with out of school youth (OSY). Persistently high dropout rates have prompted calls for more evidence on their underlying causes, to inform interventions that support school retention in South Africa. Data for this paper comes from the Asenze study, a longitudinal epidemiologic study of health and psychosocial needs, which began among preschool children in 2008 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This paper draws on data collected in the third (2019-2021) and fourth (2022) waves. Multiple logistic regression models assessed the independent association between three sets of variables; individual, cognitive/academic, and household-level on the likelihood of dropping out of school.
