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 food relief (SBFR) programs respond to students' immediate food needs by alleviating hunger. In Queensland, Australia, SBFR was expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency response to address a perceived increase in food insecurity. This paper reports on an evaluation of programs supported by the Y Queensland, which aimed to highlight successful delivery practices and determine whether food insecurity improved.
methodsAn explanatory mixed-method, multi-case study methodology was used to explore the effects of the program across four schools from the perspectives and experiences of the school staff. A descriptive survey supplemented the case study methodology to collect information from all other schools receiving SBFR support regarding program operations, types of SBFR provided, perceived program impact, and continued need for support.
resultsA total of 56 surveys and six in-depth interviews were collected from staff working in 46 schools supported by the program. The evaluation identified five key characteristics of effective program delivery: welcoming physical environments, relationships that promote social connection, inclusion of all to reduce stigma, adaptability to feedback and observation, and collaboration with the community. Programs with strong delivery characteristics improved food security and school connectedness, impacts that were especially valuable during COVID-19 disruptions.
conclusionThis study demonstrates how successful SBFR programs can operate as adaptable, equity-focused interventions that create supportive environments, reduce stigma, and strengthen social connectedness while addressing food insecurity during a public health emergency.
