Micropolitics in School-Based Health Centers' Provision of Sexual Health Services.
Article in Sociological forum (Randolph, N.J.), 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
School-based health centers are ideally situated to provide sexual health services to adolescents but face a macropolitical climate with competing sets of interests. We apply an organizational theory to 2019-2021 interview data from 33 school-based health center (SBHC) coordinators and their educator partners in Oregon to reveal the micropolitics that coordinators engage in to provide sexual health services to adolescents. Interviewees described how health practitioners' interest in providing sexual health services conflicts with anti-contraception, puritanism, and parental rights interests across school boards, parents, students, and the public. SBHC coordinators strategically engage their influential power by building relational trust with educator partners, students, and parents. They also employ the micropolitical strategy of compromise, avoiding pushing too hard for their ultimate interests to maintain the relational trust and interests they have already achieved. These findings provide a parallel for research focused on other systems, especially systems also characterized by morality-based conflict.
