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

The assessment of the school absenteeism in the world highlights a concerning situation in Southern Europe in terms of attendance problems, particularly in Italy (60.8%), Spain (28.3%), and Turkey (53.2%). These differences underscore the importance of cross-country comparisons, as prevalence rates vary due to cultural, geographical, and methodological factors given the large number of parameters that are used in each country to measure these school attendance problems. Consequently, this study investigates school absenteeism profiles across Italy, Spain and Turkey using the ARSNA instrument, focusing on truancy (TR) and school refusal (SR) dimensions. Four distinct profiles were identified:
