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

This study investigates the influence of executive functioning, language proficiency, and behavioral-emotional challenges on the academic performance of rural immigrant Latine youth in the Midwest. Using a convergent mixed methods design, we integrated quantitative analyses (N = 178) of academic indicators (GPA, Math, and ELA scores) with qualitative interviews (n = 47) that examined students' lived experiences. Higher behavioral difficulties were associated with lower academic outcomes, while executive functioning predicted academic success. Qualitative findings revealed that behavioral challenges often stemmed from adaptive responses to language barriers, academic stress and social exclusion. These patterns suggest that the cognitive load of second-language acquisition influences student engagement in ways not fully captured by standardized assessments. Results highlight the importance of culturally responsive interventions that support bilingual instruction, executive functioning, and mental health to promote resilience among Latine ELL students.
