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
backgroundSchools are important settings for universal child health promotion. Understanding the experiences of providers of interventions targeting both children and their parents is crucial for designing feasible and sustainable school-based health promotion programs.
aimThe aim of this study was to explore school nurses' perceptions and experiences of delivering a health-promotion program focusing on healthy lifestyle habits in primary schools in Sweden.
methodsThis study employed an explorative qualitative design with an inductive approach. Interviews were conducted with school nurses using a semi-structured interview guide. The data were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsSchool nurses had insights regarding the acceptability and appropriateness of the program as well as reflections regarding implementation and perceived impact. School nurses appreciated the evidence-based content and structure of the program and experienced improved collaboration with teachers. Moreover, positive changes were noted in relation to both children and parents such as improved knowledge and relations. Declining interest from school principals over the school year and lack of involvement among some parents were highlighted as implementation challenges.
conclusionThis study sheds light on the complexities faced by school nurses in delivering health-promotion interventions in collaboration with teachers in primary schools. Evidence-based practices, sustained leadership support and culturally sensitive strategies are essential for successful health promotion within schools. Our findings underscore the critical role of school nurses as health advocates, educators, and facilitators.
