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

backgroundSocial vulnerability is a systemic barrier to student success. School nurses are critical members of the school workforce, yet variation in staffing and their relationship to student outcomes is not well studied. PURPOSE: The goal of this project was to examine the number of school nursing staff in the state of Georgia for relationships across social vulnerability and school quality.

methodsA secondary data analysis was conducted using linear regression followed by moderation and mediation analyses to examine the relationships among the study variables. DISCUSSION: Linear regression revealed that school nurse staff headcounts and social vulnerability were statistically significant factors in the outcome of school quality in Georgia. Moderation and Mediation analysis revealed that school nurses are key actors in interrupting the negative consequences of social vulnerability but are hindered due to understaffing.

conclusionSchool nurses play a key role in student success, and it is essential that all children have access to this precious resource.
