The Impact of Math Attitudes and Gender in Future School Choice: A Longitudinal Study Among Italian Students.
Article in Journal of Intelligence, 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
Previous research indicates that cognitive and affective-motivational factors, along with gender, influence students' educational choices, especially regarding STEM tracks. However, few longitudinal studies have examined these factors during middle school, a critical stage in shaping future academic trajectories. This study investigated the longitudinal contribution of gender, cognitive abilities, and affective-motivational factors, such as self-concept, math interest, and math anxiety, in predicting students' school choice between STEM and non-STEM tracks at the end of middle school. Data were collected from 159 Italian students, followed from seventh to eighth grade. Findings indicated that gender and positive attitudes toward math were strongly associated with STEM school choice. Boys were more likely than girls to choose STEM tracks (
