1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: School-based health centres (SBHCs) aim to improve access to care, especially among socially vulnerable children. Interprofessional SBHCs are emerging, though their evaluations remain limited. We evaluated an interprofessional SBHC in a low-income community. Methods: The evaluation of the SBHCs was guided by the RE-AIM framework. The multimethods design included (i) a document analysis and (ii) a retrospective chart review of SBHC patients from September 2021 to May 2024. Results: The SBHC team comprised of paediatricians, a dietitian, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, and a nurse working alongside school staff and community providers. After 98 clinic half-days, 760 appointments were scheduled across 153 patients, with a nonattendance rate of 12%. Care needs extended beyond preventative medicine for 80% of children, with mental health conditions being the most common diagnoses. Conclusion: This evaluation demonstrates that interprofessional SBHCs are feasible and offer a scalable model for addressing the complex health needs of socially vulnerable children.
