Availability and Implementation Characteristics of Nutrition Health Promotion Interventions in Quebec Elementary Schools.
Article in The Journal of school health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAvailability and quality of nutrition-related health-promoting interventions (N-HPIs) vary across primary schools. We examined whether school contextual factors (e.g., socioeconomic deprivation) were associated with N-HPI availability in Quebec, Canada, and whether available N-HPIs incorporated evidence-based implementation characteristics.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study (2016-2019), informants from 171 primary schools reported on N-HPI availability. Availability was analyzed in relation to 10 school-level contextual indicators. A subset of 52 N-HPIs was examined in-depth for alignment with 15 evidence-based implementation characteristics identified in a literature review.
resultsN-HPIs were reported in 120 schools (70%, including 77% serving disadvantaged populations). Among the 52 N-HPIs examined in-depth, over 75% demonstrated four core characteristics: Staff involvement, integration of multiple core competencies, innovative teaching strategies, and alignment with school context. Fewer HPIs included formal evaluation (46%), were delivered over multiple sessions (35%), or engaged students in design or implementation (15%). IMPLICATIONS: To strengthen N-HPIs, policymakers should support flexible, theory-informed interventions that incorporate evaluation from the outset. Greater involvement of students, staff, and families in planning may help address persistent barriers.
conclusionWhile N-HPIs are widespread and often incorporate evidence-based implementation characteristics, there is room to enhance student participation, extend program duration, and strengthen evaluation.
