Integrating health promotion into biology education: effects of classroom and extracurricular interventions in rural adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Objective: Aim to explore the feasibility and preliminary impact of classroom-based and extracurricular interventions within eighth-grade biology curriculum to improve health promotion behavior (HPB) and multidimensional health of rural adolescents in China. Methods: An exploratory study with two surveys was conducted at eighth-grade students in a Chinese rural middle school. The intervention combined theoretical classroom instruction with practical extracurricular activities, all embedded within the biology curriculum. Given the incomplete pairing of the two survey samples, the data were analyzed as independent samples. Statistical significance was assessed using the Chi-square test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney Results: Analyses indicated that the intervention was associated with significant positive outcomes. Compared with the first survey, the second had significantly higher overall HPB scores ( Conclusion: This exploratory study confirmed the feasibility of classroom-based and extracurricular intervention and its potential to improve adolescent health. The observed correlation between high HPB and better health outcomes only suggests an association and the need for targeted support. Our findings recommend a collaborative model in which educators and health professionals jointly develop and implement interventions to advance the holistic development of rural adolescents.
