Four Decades of Advancing Research on Adolescent Health and Informing Health Policies: The Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children Study.
Article in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study is a large cross-national research study, conducted in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO). The study has surveyed young people aged 11, 13 and 15 years every 4 years since the mid-1980s and has grown to include 50 countries across Europe, North America, and Western-Central Asia. Over the past 40 years more than 1.6 million students have participated. HBSC aims to advance understanding of adolescent health behaviours, health and wellbeing within social contexts, inform national and international health promotion policies and practice, and foster collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. In this paper we share the history and development of the HBSC study covering: i) theory-driven and novel research impact, ii) unique long-term trends in adolescent health behaviours and perceived health and wellbeing, iii) methodological rigor to allow cross-national comparison, and iv) embedding youth involvement and maximizing policy impact.
