Thousands of students gain science research literacy and agency by conducting immersive Drosophila research projects tailored to the health interests of their communities.

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
Increasing science inquiry that aligns with curriculum standards is emerging as a critical path for science education. Our programming leverages developmental biology to engage students in expansive topics in life sciences that are tailored for each classroom curriculum. These curricula foster a scientific community of practice that prepares today's high school students for future STEM careers. Using developmental stages of the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster, students learn basic laboratory techniques, how to design research trials, write hypotheses, and collect and analyze data. After completing the project, student scientists engage in science communication with professional scientists, peers, and the public at an Annual Research Symposium, solidifying their membership in the scientific community. A core value of the programming is supporting classrooms to design their research to address health concerns of personal importance. This "soul science", an authentic research approach, enables establishment of essential research competencies and prepares students to become health advocates for those they love. This article describes programs designed to increase science inquiry among high school students and their teachers and to encourage the application of experimental outcomes to cancer and disease research.
