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
Background: Academic procrastination, a pervasive challenge among students, has been shown to significantly impede academic performance and overall well-being. This study investigated the efficacy of self-regulation strategy training in promoting academic flourishing and optimism among students exhibiting tendencies toward academic procrastination. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The study population consisted of male high school students exhibiting academic procrastination in Dezful, Iran during the 2022-2023 academic year. Thirty male high school students (aged 16-18), exhibiting procrastination tendencies (scores above 45 on a procrastination questionnaire), participated in this study. Using a convenience sampling method, the study participants were randomly allocated to either an experimental or a control group (n=15 per group). The experimental group underwent ten weekly 90-minute sessions of self-regulation strategy training. Academic flourishing and academic optimism were assessed using the Academic Flourishing Scale (AFS) and the Academic Optimism Questionnaire (AOQ), respectively, at three intervals: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at a 45-day follow-up. Repeated measures ANOVA, using SPSS version 25, was employed for data analysis. Results: Academic flourishing increased significantly from the pre-test (21.01±7.72) to the post-test (34.40±8.09) and follow-up (32.53±7.22) in the experimental group (P<0.001), while remaining stable in the control group (21.13±7.32, Post-test: 20.93±7.12, Follow-up: 21.89±7.64). Similarly, academic optimism increased significantly from pre-test (68.87±13.88) to post-test (91.47±15.21) and follow-up (89.48±15.37) in the experimental group (P<0.001), while remaining relatively stable in the control group (Pre-test: 68.80±13.59, Post-test: 67.80±12.82, Follow-up: 66.87±14.54). The findings suggested that self-regulation strategy training can enhance academic flourishing and optimism among students with procrastination tendencies (P<0.001). Conclusions: The findings of this study provided evidence for the efficacy of self-regulation strategy training in promoting academic flourishing and optimism in students exhibiting procrastination tendencies. The significant improvement observed in the experimental group highlights the potential of this intervention to address procrastination and promote positive academic outcomes.
