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

purposeMany positive outcomes of extracurricular activities on children and adolescents have been explored. However, research on the protective role of extracurricular activities on children's bullying is limited. The current study explored whether participating in extracurricular activities moderates the association between bullying victimization and skipping classes, receiving lower grades, and fighting in school. DESIGN AND

methodsThe sample includes 6199 adolescents from the National Crime Victimization Survey. Analyses included descriptive statistics, linear regression, and binary logistic regression.

resultsResults partially supported the hypothesis that participating in extracurricular activities would moderate the association between bullying and school outcomes. Participating in extracurricular activities was found to moderate the association between bullying victimization and receiving lower grades. In other words, adolescents who participate in extracurricular activities are less likely to receive lower grades, even when bullied, which might suggest that such participation can motivate them to stay focused on their academics. Participating in extracurricular activities, however, did not moderate the association between bullying victimization and skipping classes. Participating in extracurricular activities was also not found to moderate the association between bullying victimization and fighting in school. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The current study highlights the need for further research on the role of extracurricular activities in school bullying, with implications for school-based practice.
