The Changing Landscape of School-Based Health Centers and Other School-Based Clinics in California, 2011-2023.
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. 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
backgroundSchool-based health centers (SBHCs) and other school-based clinics (OSBCs) reduce health care access barriers and support positive outcomes in disadvantaged children by providing primary medical care and other services, respectively. This study describes California SBHCs and OSBCs and identifies school characteristics associated with access.
methodsDatabases on California SBHCs, OSBCs, and schools were compiled. Descriptive statistics characterize the number of clinics and services offered from 2011 to 2023. Multivariable logistic regression models estimate associations between school characteristics and SBHC/OSBC access in 2023.
resultsBetween 2011and 2023, the SBHCs increased from 124 to 186, and services became more comprehensive. OSBCs increased from 18 to 104, with most offering mental health services. SBHC access was more likely in schools with a larger share of students who were English Learners and "other" as their race and ethnicity; high schools; and in large cities. OSBC access was more likely in schools with a larger share of English Learner students and in cities.
conclusionsSBHCs and OSBCs expanded and largely served disadvantaged schools, which may promote health and academic equity.
