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
objectiveAs school shootings and youth gun violence continue to rise in the United States, it is imperative to identify risk factors linked to gun carrying among adolescents. This study examines the relationship between perceived school alienation and the likelihood of adolescents carrying a gun to school. Specifically, it tests whether school alienation increases adolescent inclination to carry a gun to school.
methodsThis study used an all-male sample from waves I (1994-1995) and II (1996) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) with a final analytic sample size of (N = 6577). A logistic regression model was estimated to assess the relationship between school alienation and gun carrying, controlling for statistically relevant variables such as gang membership.
resultsOur analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between school alienation and gun carrying among adolescent males. More specifically, as school alienation increased, adolescents' odds of carrying a gun to school also increased by 9%. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH, POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Readily accessible mental health resources should be implemented within schools for students that may show early signs of alienation, in attempts to lower the prevalence of gun carrying within schools.
conclusionsFindings suggest that school alienation is attributed to an increased inclination to subsequently carry a gun to school among adolescent males.
