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.

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.

Abstract

Anxiety disorders are among the most common pediatric mental health concerns, affecting nearly one in ten U.S. children, and often present as unexplained somatic complaints in school health offices. In rural Montana, limited access to behavioral health care compounds these challenges. This quality improvement project tested a nurse-led case-finding protocol (≥3 unexplained somatic visits in 6 weeks) followed by targeted anxiety screening using the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) administered in both child self-report (SCARED-c) and parent-report (SCARED-p) versions, within a Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) framework. Of 430 students, eight met case-finding criteria, six completed screening, and five screened positive. All received a nurse-delivered brief intervention and counseling referral. Guided by Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, the project demonstrated feasibility, sustainability, and the critical role of school nurses in early anxiety recognition within resource-limited settings.
