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

Early assessment of social-emotional skills is crucial for identifying children at risk and implementing targeted interventions. To address the scarcity of reliable self-reports for young children, we developed the GraSEF, a digital screening instrument for primary students. GraSEF utilizes a situational judgment format to assess internalizing/externalizing behavior, social withdrawal, problem-solving, alongside self-reports for prosocial behavior and emotion regulation strategies. This study examines the instrument's psychometric properties in a sample of 474 s-graders in Austria (M
