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
School nurses (SNs) can play important roles in supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Prior research has emphasized individual and interpersonal factors influencing SNs' interactions with LGBTQ+ youth, showing mixed results regarding cultural competency, knowledge, and youth satisfaction. However, higher-level factors (e.g., structural and political) shaping these interactions remain underexplored in the United States at a national level. To address this gap, we analyzed open-ended responses from a survey distributed by the National Association of School Nurses in May 2023, receiving responses from 672 nurses (49 states and one U.S. territory). Analysis revealed five key themes: (1) personal stake and the SN role; (2) perspectives on school and community climate; (3) policies as supportive versus challenging; (4) LGBTQ+ resources and education; and (5) barriers and facilitators to learning. Findings illustrate the interconnectedness of policy, leadership, school culture, and education, highlighting areas for targeted improvements to enhance SNs' capacity to effectively support LGBTQ+ youth health.
