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

introductionThe objective of this research was to evaluate the heterogeneity and change in the configuration of adolescents' information disclosure and concealment toward their parents, using a person-centered approach and considering different domains of social-cognitive domain theory.

methodThrough a non-experimental, longitudinal design, 874 Chilean adolescents were surveyed in the first measurement (M

resultsFor the younger adolescent, a class emerged that disclose information about all consulted issues (i.e., personal issues regarding activities, personal issues regarding interpersonal relationships and prudential issues), a second class that conceals information about all consulted issues, a third class that conceals information regarding personal issues that circumscribe interpersonal relationships, and a fourth class that conceals information about both types of personal issues. For the older adolescent, only three classes emerged: those who disclosed everything, those who concealed everything, and those who concealed only personal issues regarding interpersonal relationships. Most individuals showed a high probability of remaining in their original groups over time; however, adolescents concealing only interpersonal issues were the exception, showing a higher probability of transitioning into the disclosure group.

conclusionsThese results suggest adolescents share information with their parents to a certain extent, while also maintaining privacy regarding specific issues. These findings contradict the monotonic decline of disclosure during adolescence that has been reported by studies using a variable-centered approach.
