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

Existing research has established that irritability and executive function (EF) are distinct yet often co-occurring transdiagnostic symptoms, each with its developmental trajectory. However, no evidence exists on whether these two symptoms follow joint developmental patterns or on which patterns increase risk for later problems. To address this gap, the present study tracked joint trajectories of irritability and EF and linked these patterns to subsequent externalizing and internalizing problems. A seven-wave longitudinal design was employed with a sample of 491 students in China (M
