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

introductionThere is a growing interest in positive risk-taking (PRT) during adolescence and young adulthood. Emerging evidence has documented positive associations of PRT with multiple positive adolescent socioemotional developmental outcomes, including prosocial behavior. Impulsivity, despite its link with PRT, has shown mixed relations with prosocial behavior. The joint association between PRT and impulsivity with prosocial behavior remains underexplored, especially their prospective associations in longitudinal designs and daily contexts.

methodsParticipants were 177 Canadian university students (M

resultsThere was minimal evidence for the longitudinal associations between PRT, impulsivity, and prosocial behavior over a 6-month period. However, higher daily impulsivity was associated with lower same-day prosocial behavior. The negative association was less salient among participants with higher levels of PRT, such that high levels of PRT could buffer the negative influences of young adults' daily impulsive tendencies that deter them from engaging in daily prosocial behavior.

conclusionsFindings highlight the importance of distinguishing short- and long-term developmental processes and underscore PRT as a context-sensitive construct relevant in youth's social functioning in daily life.
