Learning Modalities During COVID-19 and Adolescent Mental Health in North Carolina.
Article in The Journal of school health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe mental health of youth represents a critical public health issue and has worsened over the course of the pandemic, partially attributed to social isolation and school closures.
methodsThis analysis leveraged data on school learning modality (COVID-19 School Data Hub), emergency department (ED) visits (North Carolina SHEPS data), and school-district characteristics (National Center for Education Statistics) to investigate how school learning modality predicts mental health-related ED visitation in the state of North Carolina. Generalized linear mixed models were employed to quantify how the odds of mental health ED visitation varied with school learning modality. Models adjust for school-level covariates (e.g., broadband, student:teacher ratio) and patient-level characteristics (age, sex). Patient and school data are nested within counties, which were included as a random effect to address potential clustering within the data.
resultsIn-person (odds ratios [OR]: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.85-0.99) and hybrid (odds ratios: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93-0.98) modalities were associated with lower ORs for ED visits due to mental health compared to a virtual learning modality. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: School districts should consider increasing the provision of mental health services for students during circumstances in which a virtual learning modality is utilized and consider adopting hybrid learning rather than virtual learning when feasible.
conclusionsSchool administrators should seek to balance students' mental health and learning needs in times of crisis.
