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
backgroundAdolescents in child welfare institutions often face inadequate facility resources, limited caregiver support, and restricted access to health care services. These obstacles impede their physical, mental, and social development during adolescence, resulting in significant health vulnerabilities. Engaging in health-promoting behaviors (HPBs) can enhance their overall health and quality of life, potentially contributing to improved long-term well-being.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify the HPBs of adolescents in child welfare institutions in Indonesia and explore the determinants influencing these behaviors using the health promotion model.
methodsThis study used a cross-sectional survey design. Adolescents living in welfare institutions were recruited from January 14, 2024, to February 3, 2024. After obtaining institutional review board approval, 6 research assistants visited 17 institutions in Malang and collected data from participants who provided their consent using tablet PCs that linked to the questionnaire. The variables studied included HPBs, health literacy, self-esteem, perceived barriers to action, perceived self-efficacy, and social support. Multivariate structural analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics (version 26.0; IBM Corp) and SPSS Amos (version 26.0; IBM Corp).
resultsA total of 276 adolescents participated in this study. Adolescents' HPBs differed significantly based on age group (P=.03), educational level (P=.04), duration of stay in child welfare institutions (P=.03), and the institutions' accreditation level (P=.02). In the final model, perceived self-efficacy (β=0.538; P<.001) and social support (β=0.256; P<.001) together accounted for 47.9% of the variance in HPBs. Self-esteem was positively correlated with perceived self-efficacy (β=0.184; P<.001) and social support (β=0.303; P<.001) but negatively correlated with perceived barriers to action (β=-0.194; P<.01). Health literacy was also negatively correlated with perceived barriers to action (β=-0.234; P<.001). Self-esteem indirectly affected HPBs through perceived self-efficacy (β=0.099; P<.01) and social support (β=0.078; P<.001).
conclusionsTo improve the HPBs of adolescents living in child welfare institutions, their self-esteem needs to be increased to further enhance their self-efficacy and social support. Careful attention and monitoring of HPBs among these adolescents may lead to better health outcomes and support their transition from child welfare institutions to the broader community.
