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: Climate and health education is increasingly recognised as essential for preparing a climate-competent public health workforce, yet reliable European baseline data remain limited. This cross-sectional study assessed the availability of climate and health education in degree-granting Schools of Public Health across the World Health Organization European Region. Methods: A survey of Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region member institutions was combined with a large-language-model-assisted web scan and manual verification of institutional websites, curricula, syllabi, and programme descriptions. Results: Overall, 268 Schools of Public Health were identified across 53 countries, including 131 ASPHER members and 137 non-members. Of these, 111 institutions (41.4%) offered at least one verified climate and health education programme or course in 2024/2025. Availability was similar among ASPHER members (41%) and non-members (43%). Most identified programmes were offered at master's level, while vocational, bachelor, doctoral, and continuing professional development opportunities were less frequent. Conclusion: Climate and health education is present across much of Europe but remains uneven and concentrated at postgraduate level. The findings provide a verifiable baseline for future monitoring and policy action.
