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

backgroundSchool nurses are often tasked with identifying and managing mental and behavioral health concerns. The objective of this study was to better understand school nurse and school preparedness to identify and manage mental health conditions and psychological stressors.

methodsThe authors developed a questionnaire, which was electronically distributed to several National Association of School Nurses members during the 2021-2022 school year.

resultsA total of 994 questionnaires were completed and analyzed, a 50% response rate. Of school nurse respondents, 76% felt responsible for identifying depression; 40% reported that their school has naloxone; 22% reported that their school has an emergency preparedness and response plan for opioid overdose; and 18% screened for bullying in the past year. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: School policies and guidelines for the critical areas identified in the present study should be considered.

conclusionsBased on our national sample of school nurses, we have identified strengths and areas for improvement in school nurse and school preparedness to identify and manage mental health conditions and psychological stressors.
