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
In Switzerland, a goal during lower secondary school is to secure a qualifying upper secondary education, either vocational education and training or general education. By combining person-environment fit theory and expectancy-value theory, it is assumed that students' perceived person-environment fit in primary school is associated with whether they enter a non-qualifying upper secondary education, mediated by self-concepts and expectations of success in mathematics and German. To test this mediation, a longitudinal structural equation model (SEM) was constructed, using data from 388 Swiss students at three measurement points. The results show that students' perceived person-environment fit in sixth grade indirectly and negatively predicted them entering a non-qualifying upper secondary education after completing ninth grade. The effect was mediated by self-concepts in mathematics and German as well as expectations of success in mathematics. The assumed effect of expectations of success on a non-qualifying upper secondary education was not significant, indicating that there are domain-specific mechanisms underlying the effects of person-environment fit and motivational beliefs on educational trajectories. Implications for theoretical conceptualization and educational practice are discussed.
