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

Background: Difficulties adjustment to school in childhood are one of the risk factors for developing mental health problems. When school adjustment problems arise, they tend to persist over time; therefore, early identification and intervention can help prevent these problems from worsening. In this vein, preventive strategies have been proposed based on developing socio-emotional skills that improve school adjustment. In Chile, school adjustment problems are addressed through preventive workshops based on social-emotional learning, which conforms to Life Skills Program 1. Objective: This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of preventive workshops belonging to Life Skills Program 1 to improve adjustment to the classroom among Chilean primary school students. Materials and methods: The design of this research was a retrospective quasi-experimental type, with pre -and post-test measurements. The experimental condition consisted of 185 children in the 1st grade of primary school who were classified in the at-risk group in the Results: In an initial sample of 1.482 students, 185 were classified as at risk using the TOCA-RR instrument and received the intervention. After the intervention ended, 123 students were no longer at risk, while 62 remained at risk. Results evidenced that workshops were successful in 66.5% of the cases. Conclusion: The preventive workshops are effective in reducing school adjustment problems in at-risk children, which, if not treated in time, could trigger mental health problems in childhood that could extend into adulthood.
