Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Early prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome (MetS) through healthy eating and physical activity are essential for reducing chronic disease risk among youth. The school food and physical activity environment significantly influences children's health behaviors. Yet, interventions targeting schools' health environments are sparse, and none empower middle school students to be change agents. We describe the process and rationale for evaluating Strong Teens for Healthy Schools (STHS), a multilevel middle school civic engagement program promoting healthier school environments through student-driven projects. We will test the efficacy of STHS for reducing MetS risk and improving positive youth development outcomes among students at middle schools where >40% of students identify as Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino (
