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.
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
This study investigates longitudinal associations between peer relations, affective well-being, and academic achievement during early adolescence. Data were drawn from a two-wave study of a large nationally stratified sample of Czech students transitioning from Grade 6 to Grade 7 (N = 2,609, ages 12-13). Cross-lagged panel models were used to examine reciprocal links between friendship, social exclusion, positive and negative affect, and achievement in mathematics and Czech language, assessed using item-response-theory-scaled tests. Friendship predicted increases in subsequent positive affect, whereas social exclusion predicted declines in positive affect. Exclusion was also associated with lower later achievement in Czech language across students and with reduced mathematics achievement specifically among girls, indicating domain- and gender-differentiated academic vulnerability. Affective well-being did generally predict achievement. These findings highlight the developmental importance of peer relations for emotional adjustment and suggest that experiences of exclusion may carry direct academic consequences, particularly for girls in mathematics.
