Article in BMC public 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
backgroundSchool bullying is a common phenomenon that has negative consequences for student development in many areas and is a significant public health problem. Research conducted, particularly in the socioecological model, provides knowledge about the relationships between both individual characteristics and broader social context factors and bullying. The results of the research conducted in recent years indicate that bullying may be influenced by the leadership provided by school principals. The aim of the present research was to search for relationships between leadership styles reported by school principals and the victimization and perpetration of bullying reported by students.
methodsData analyzed were collected from 3,863 students in grades 7-9 from 22 schools combined with data from self-reported leadership styles of principals. Data on victimization and perpetration of bullying, student characteristics and the school climate reported by students, and data on the leadership styles of school principals were collected. Logistic regression was used in the analyses.
resultsThe charismatic leadership style of principals is associated with increased reported victimization and perpetration of bullying by students. Two leadership styles play a protective role. A team-oriented leadership style is associated with decreased victimization, and a humane-oriented style is associated with decreased reported bullying perpetration by students.
conclusionsThe results add nuance to the findings of previous research indicating that the leadership style of school principals may act as a risk or protective factor against peer bullying.
