Clarifying Misconceptions About School-Based Health Care.
Article in The Journal of school health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo health professionals working in American school-based health centers, the benefits of school-based health programs are obvious. The philosophical warrant for this work has been reasserted for over 70 years. And yet, the divisiveness of health and health care in the U.S. has led to questions and even concerns about the appropriateness of co-locating healthcare services in schools. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRACTICE: We address three common misconceptions to provide an accurate depiction of the work school-based health centers do. The misconceptions we address are: 1. that education and health care should be separate; 2. that parents and guardians alone are responsible for their children's health; and 3. that school-based health centers cut out parents and guardians from involvement in their children's health. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Misconceptions about school-based health centers undermine the important work being done in these centers, including the pursuit of improved child health outcomes. Clarifying these misconceptions is of the utmost importance.
conclusionsIt is important to understand and actively address common misconceptions about school-based health centers. Doing so can help leverage the opportunities these centers and programs present.
