Role of schools in disaster risk management: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCommunity-based disaster risk management has emerged as a highly effective approach, emphasizing the importance of local institutions. As integral parts of communities, schools possess valuable resources that can play a crucial role in supporting government agencies in managing disasters efficiently. Therefore, this study identified the dimensions and components of schools participation in disaster risk management.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across key electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, focusing on English-language articles published up to June 8, 2024. Additionally, searches were performed on organizational websites such as WHO, CDC, FEMA, IFRC, UN, INEE, and Save the Children. Study selection followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, and thematic analysis was employed to examine the findings.
resultsFinally, of 7824 selected records, 17 papers were included in the final analysis. Six main themes, 26 categories, and 61 subcategories were revealed. The main themes included planning and preparedness, education and awareness, Communication and Collaboration, Equipment and Infrastructure, Evaluation and Improvement, Challenges and Solutions.
conclusionsSchools are central to disaster risk management and must be integrated into national frameworks through formal legislation. Strengthening preparedness requires investment in infrastructure, regular assessments, and inclusive education programs. Stakeholder collaboration especially with families, NGOs, and local authorities enhances coordination and community awareness. Sustainable funding and flexible, localized strategies are essential, particularly in underserved areas. Future research should focus on cost-effective models, digital tools, and scalable practices across diverse contexts.
