Life skills that promote school health in adolescents: a concept analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public 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
backgroundLife skills are essential for school health in adolescents; however, their conceptual understanding remains limited, so this concept will be explored.
objectiveTo analyse the concept of "life skills that promote school health in adolescents" in the literature.
methodConcept analysis followed the eight steps described by Walker and Avant. In the evidence synthesis, an integrative review was conducted, following the PRISMA 2020 methodological guidelines. The literature review was performed on the Web of Science platform, and in the PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases, for articles published between 2020 and 2024, written in Spanish or English, and including qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods studies, or systematic reviews.
resultsEighteen studies were included, from which four key attributes of life skills were identified: decision-making, effective communication, stress management, and problem solving. These skills contribute to reducing risky behaviours, improving resilience, and strengthening overall well-being.
conclusionsDespite the limited evidence linking life skills that promote adolescent school health these can be defined as a set of essential psychosocial competencies that enable adolescents to effectively cope with health-related challenges in school and social environments. The theoretical framework for understanding life skills provided in this study can be used to develop specific educational programs and interventions for adolescents.
