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
School attendance problems (SAPs) are a widespread phenomenon with significant academic, psychological, social, and relational consequences. These issues are particularly prevalent among adolescents worldwide and require careful examination of the individual and contextual factors associated with their onset and persistence to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies. Grounded in an ecological and systemic framework of school absenteeism, this longitudinal study examined the reciprocal associations between SAPs, learned helplessness, mastery orientation, academic procrastination, perceived competence (general, academic, relational, leisure), and school climate (teacher support, peer connection, school connection, affirming diversity, clarity of rules, and reporting and seeking help) in a sample of 523 high school students (Mage at T1 = 15.64, SD = 0.97), using a cross-lagged panel model. Results indicate temporal stability of SAPs and the examined variables over one school year. Notably, alongside the longitudinal associations between SAPs and different individual and contextual variables, a significant bidirectional relationship emerges between learned helplessness and SAPs, suggesting that feelings of helplessness are linked to greater school disengagement and increased absences. This finding confirms the importance of emotional, motivational, and cognitive vulnerabilities in shaping school participation trajectories. The results emphasize the need for school-based prevention and intervention strategies targeting these factors. Accordingly, guidelines are proposed for educational interventions addressing SAPs.
