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

First-generation college students from historically marginalized backgrounds often face a cultural mismatch between interdependent family obligations and independent academic demands during the transition to college. Guided by cultural mismatch and biculturalism theories, this study examined whether internalizing symptoms mediated the association between cultural mismatch and academic problems, and whether this indirect effect was moderated by cultural harmonization (tendency to balance family and academic obligations). Participants were 561 first-generation college students from historically marginalized backgrounds (93.4% Latinx;
