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

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is often presented as a way to promote positive student outcomes. However, current SEL programs may reflect Eurocentric, heterosexual, ableist, middle-class American values and overlook the needs of racially/ethnically minoritized youth. To help school psychologists engage in social justice advocacy to improve Black students' wellbeing, this conceptual article highlights five key components of SEL for Black youth. The authors focus on: (1) afrocentrism; (2) anti-oppressive frameworks; (3) a strength-based approach; (4) student empowerment and healing; and (5) evidence-based practices as essential to SEL to promote positive academic, behavioral, and social-emotional outcomes for Black youth. Supporting research for each component is included, along with recommendations for system-level integration to enhance school interventions, promote community partnerships, and establish policies that meet the needs of Black youth.
