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

Introduction: Hong Kong children and adolescents are living with alarming deterioration of mental health and escalating risks of violence and self-harm. Self-value, Empower, Educate, and Protect from Dangers (SEED) health-behavioral education provided to children, caregivers, and care service providers by Be Priceless is the only Hong Kong program that integrates safety with mental, physical, and social well-being. Methods: 526 children aged 6 to 17 years were recruited into a pre-post intervention study from May 2021 to September 2024. The impact of our SEED health education intervention was evaluated on four outcome measures: health-related quality of life, emotional regulation, well-being/resilience, and safety. Results: Relative to pre-course baseline, all four measures showed significant improvements after intervention which persisted for 6 months, with large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 0.66-0.92, all Discussion: These results provide evidence that the SEED health education of Be Priceless is an efficacious intervention that improves children's well-being and safety, while promoting health equity and inclusivity in Hong Kong.
