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

Objectives: School engagement predicts high school graduation and improved health in adolescence and beyond. We examine associations between school engagement and social network characteristics during the transition to high school. Methods: We secondarily analyzed data from a trial of a college readiness program across five high schools in Southern California. Participants completed baseline (end of 8 Results: Participants (n=431) were predominantly Latino (82.8%). In-network teachers were inversely associated with concurrent school engagement (β=-1.16, Conclusions: Building connections to supportive peers and adults may enhance adolescents' school engagement. Like other adolescent health behaviors, school engagement may be influenced by the behaviors of peers in adolescents' social circles. Interventions that target multiple social network-mediated behaviors may be particularly beneficial to adolescent health and education.
