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

Based on OECD's Survey on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) Asian data (n = 23560), this study examines the pathways through which school connectedness relates to students' positive development using structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that school connectedness predicts student positive development through serial effect of interpersonal skills and emotion regulation skills. School connectedness is associated with social-emotional skills (student engaging with others). These two social-emotional skills both predict students' positive development. Student-classmate relationship and perceived relationship with teachers contribute to school connectedness. Energy, stress resistance, and optimism are important social-emotional skills. The outcomes are primarily reflected in positive emotions at school and students' school engagement. The study elucidates the internal mechanism through which the school environment predicts students' development via a sequence of social-emotional skills, offering meaningful implications for optimizing school connectedness and cultivating student's social-emotional skills.
