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 present study aimed to design, develop, and validate a training package for treating student procrastination based on grounded theory. In the first phase, a qualitative grounded theory study was conducted to develop this intervention. The study population consisted of students enrolled at the Persian Gulf University in the academic year 2023-2024. In the quantitative phase of this study, a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test control group design was employed. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select participants. The procrastination questionnaire was randomly distributed to 1000 students from the Persian Gulf University, stratified by faculty, major, and year of entry. The findings indicated that the procrastination treatment package was effective in reducing procrastination among students.
