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

objectiveThis study aimed to examine long-term trends in Czech adolescents' perceptions of school climate between 1994 and 2022, focusing on school satisfaction, perceived school pressure, and perceived social support from classmates and teachers.

methodsData were drawn from eight cycles of the Czech Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, encompassing responses from 63,252 students aged 11, 13 and 15 years. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess temporal trends and associations between school climate indicators and demographic variables, including gender, age, and family affluence.

resultsCompared to 2022, students were significantly more likely to report liking school a lot in 2010 (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.94-2.36) and 2014 (OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.52-1.76). Reports of school dissatisfaction were lowest in 2010 (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.49-0.57) and 2014 (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.57-0.63) relative to 2022. Perceived school pressure was highest in 2022, while in 2002 the odds of feeling pressure were less than half as likely (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.41-0.47). Classmate support peaked in 2010 (OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.90-2.18) vs. 2022, and teacher support was highest in 2018 (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.26-1.39). Girls and older students consistently reported greater school pressure and lower levels of support, while those from more affluent families reported more favourable perceptions of school climate.

conclusionsCzech adolescents' school climate perceptions have deteriorated over the past three decades, marked by rising demands and weakening support at school. These trends may contribute to reduced school engagement and heightened psychological distress, emphasizing the need for systemic interventions that ensure that high school expectations are coupled with relational and emotional support in schools.
