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
backgroundGiven the importance of school connectedness for healthy adolescent development, this scoping review aimed to identify and describe intervention strategies used to increase school connectedness among adolescents.
methodsGuided by the Arksey and O'Malley framework, we conducted a scoping review of school-based intervention studies published between 2011 and 2023 targeting school connectedness among adolescents. Intervention strategies were organized using a social-ecological framework.
findingsThere were 24 included studies across 12 countries, targeting students aged 10-20 years. Various theories, study designs, and measurement tools were used. Interventions were primarily classroom-based, with common strategies including lessons, skill-building, and role plays. Most targeted the individual or interpersonal level rather than the organizational level. Despite it generally being a secondary outcome, 11 of the 23 interventions had a positive effect on school connectedness. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: There are promising strategies across multiple social-ecological levels that can be used to increase school connectedness among adolescents.
conclusionsA diversity of promising intervention strategies have been implemented to increase school connectedness. Future studies need to further define school connectedness, explore strategies at the organizational level, and measure the effectiveness of different strategies.
