Sun Safety Intervention for Elementary School Students.
Article in Pediatric dermatology. 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
This study evaluated the impact of an elementary school-based intervention that aimed to improve sun safety knowledge and behaviors among third- and fourth-grade students in Pennsylvania through an educational video, t-shirt design contest, and interactive assembly. From pre-survey (n = 88) to post-survey (n = 86), students showed significant improvements in awareness of the link between sun exposure and skin cancer (p < 0.001). Between pre-survey and 6-month follow-up (n = 67), no significant changes were found in reported sunscreen use and reapplication, hat-wearing, or sunburn incidence, but knowledge of skin cancer risk from the sun remained high (p < 0.001). In summary, the intervention significantly increased awareness of the link between sun exposure and skin cancer, with knowledge remaining high at 6-month follow-up, but sustained behavioral change was not observed, suggesting a need for continued reinforcement or different intervention.
