An Evaluability Assessment of a School-Based Prevention Program: Promoting Evaluation Capacity Building.
Article in Justice evaluation journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The criminal and juvenile justice fields have increasingly emphasized evidence-based practices (EBPs) and data-driven decision making. Despite notable progress in developing EBPs, their systematic adoption remains limited, and resources continue to be allocated to programs lacking empirical support. A key barrier in advancing EBPs is the prevalence of unevaluated or unevaluable programs. Evaluability assessments offer a promising, cost-effective strategy for addressing these challenges by determining a program's readiness for evaluation and enhancing evaluation capacity, a crucial precursor to outcome evaluation. This case study presents an evaluability assessment of a school-based prevention program utilizing document review, stakeholder engagement, and participant data. The evaluability assessment focused on articulating the program's theory, gathering feedback on program theory, and determining feasibility of an outcome evaluation. Findings provide practical insights into the value of evaluability assessment for strengthening evaluation capacity in school settings and informing the broader effort to identify and sustain effective delinquency prevention strategies.
