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

backgroundSchool is the first social institution which affects adolescents' lives, and it determines their opportunities, life quality and behavior. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between students' bonds with their school and multiple health risk behaviors amongst high school students in Kerman City, Iran.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, high school students of all levels participated during November and December 2001 in Kerman. The research sample included 1024 students (588 females and 436 males) aged 15 to 19 years. A CTC (Communities That Care Youth Survey) questionnaire was designed based ona standard questionnaire in order to collect a profile of students' risk behaviors. A multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to collect the data.

resultsIn the final multivariate logistic regression, two variables including; age, (ORa=1.15, P=0.02) and male gender (ORa=2.14, P=0.001) had a significant positive association with multiple health risk behaviors (MHRB). School commitment (ORa=0.38, P=0.001) and school rewards for involvement (ORa=0.80, P=0.21), had a significant negative association with MHRB.

conclusionOur results quantified the pivotal role of schools in shaping the risky behavior of students. It seems that school may minimize the risky behaviors by creating a strong link, and improving the effective communications with students.
