Positive effects of student-led health promotion activities at mass gathering events on health modification behaviors.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 2026. 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
The 'Pit Stop for Health' initiative is a student-led health promotion program providing opportunistic health screenings and behavioral counseling at mass gathering events. This cross-sectional observational study surveyed 369 participants across agricultural fairs, sporting events, and university activities. Structural equation modeling identified multiple pathways influencing satisfaction, health modification, and health behavior's, with the overall model explaining 58.8% of the variance (R2 = 0.588). Satisfaction with the 'Pit Stop for Health' initiative significantly predicted health modification (β = 0.157, SE = 0.068, CR = 2.316, P = .021) and the likelihood of recommending the activity to others (β = 0.812, SE = 0.138, CR = 5.877, P < .001), while follow-up behaviors were strongly associated with future health modification (β = 0.854, SE = 0.116, CR = 7.380, P < .001) and seeking medical advice (β = 0.967, SE = 0.107, CR = 9.050, P < .001). The model demonstrated excellent fit (χ2 = 33.736, df = 24, P = .090), with age negatively correlated with follow-up behaviors (r = -0.137, P = .028), and no significant associations found for gender or self-reported health importance. Findings highlight the public health value of student-led, reciprocal service-learning models in delivering preventive interventions in non-clinical community settings. Such initiatives not only strengthen public engagement with health services but also provide meaningful experiential learning for future health professionals. By addressing preventive health needs in accessible, resource-constrained environments, 'Pit Stop for Health' contributes to population-level health promotion. Further research examining cultural and ethnic influences is warranted to enhance the inclusivity, relevance, and scalability of similar interventions in diverse communities.
