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
backgroundSchool-based health promotion programs can improve children's health outcomes. This study examined levels of implementation of health promotion by Areas of Action in health-promoting schools (HPS) and non-HPS in Israel.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among principals from 637 of 771 Israeli elementary and middle schools (52% Jewish, 48% Arab). The questionnaire assessed school activities according to Action Areas and domains of the Ottawa Charter.
resultsHPS recognition rates were 64% in secular Jewish schools and 69% in Arab schools. Among non-HPS schools, 54% (n = 164) reported health promotion activities. HPSs had higher activity levels than non-HPSs in the domains of policy (M = 7.79 vs. 5.45), environment (7.78 vs. 6.85), health education (2.01 vs. 1.67), and staff training and empowerment (1.71 vs. 0.97), all p < 0.001. Community involvement was also higher (90.8% vs. 58.6%, χ IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: A comprehensive, equity-oriented policy is needed to ensure equal opportunities for health promotion, particularly in underserved communities.
conclusionsStrengthening the implementation of the Ottawa Charter principles alongside formal recognition of HPSs is fundamental to advancing effective school health promotion.
