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

It is commonly assumed that victims' maladaptive cognitions concerning the cause of their victimization (self-blame) or its potential solution (e.g., helplessness) contribute to psychological problems. Nevertheless, there is limited empirical research on the conditions that lead to the emergence of such cognitions. The present study investigates whether bystanders' behaviors during bullying incidents (bystanders joining the bullying or defending the victim) influence victims' attributions of the cause (self-blame) and perceived solutions (i.e., internal or external solution, or helplessness) to bullying, both concurrently and over time. A total of n = 755 victims (M
