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

Primary-secondary school transitions are emotionally demanding, critical periods for two-thirds of children, who report stress and anxiety up to 2 years before and after starting secondary school. Maladjustment is associated with poor attainment, attendance and mental health difficulties, especially for more disadvantaged groups. Thus, from a public health perspective, timely support is crucial, which is recognised in policy, practice and research. However, significant limitations pervade all three sectors, with primary-secondary school transition consistently noted as "a period not handled well" (March, p. 65), and interventions "do not give enough importance to improving emotional wellbeing and how schools might be supported in this role". Existing interventions are limited in focus, often targeting social adjustment and academic attainment rather than emotional wellbeing; reach, with few programmes spanning three school years; sustainability, due to minimal stakeholder involvement; and rigorous evaluation. The present paper aims to address these limitations, by presenting the theory, empirical research, and methodological decisions, informing the design and implementation of
