Profiles of gifted students through the eyes of their teachers: identifying students at risk for underachievement.

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
Introduction: Not all gifted students realize their full potential and many gifted students are underachieving. To examine whether gifted primary school students at risk for underachievement can be identified by their teachers early on, the current study aimed to examine (1) whether different profiles can be distinguished among gifted students based on teacher ratings of observable characteristics (classroom behavior, task commitment, educational performance, teacherchild relationship quality, and peer relations), (2) to what extent the identified profiles and students' profile membership are stable over time, and (3) to what extent profile membership is associated with achievement (growth). Methods: Participants were two cohorts of Grade 3 students from primary schools in all districts of the Netherlands achieving above the 90th percentile on a cognitive ability test ( Results: Latent Profile Analyses revealed four profiles of gifted students in Grade 3, which mostly represented general quantitative differences in teacher ratings: above average, average independent and low conflict, average, and below average. Similar profiles were found in Grade 6, having similar sizes as in Grade 3. Latent Transition Analyses showed that half of the students changed profile between Grades 3 and 6. Profile membership in Grade 3 was related to achievement in Grades 3 and 6 (reading fluency, reading comprehension, and math) and, to a small extent, to achievement growth between Grades 3 and 6. Discussion: This study suggests that quantitatively distinct groups of gifted students can be distinguished based on teacher ratings of students' characteristics and that students' cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics, as observed by their teacher, could help to identify students at risk for underachievement.
