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

Can a test reveal whether individuals will succeed or struggle in their lives? This question was pursued through the use of a Behavioral Tendencies in Life Test (BTLT), which asks individuals whether they would respond to 40 life-modeling scenarios in each of 4 ways. A prototype of the successful person was created using the same materials and then applied to each person's BTLT ratings. In two studies (total
