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

purpose of reviewThis review examines the effectiveness of school-based interventions for preventing cardiovascular disease and promoting healthy lifestyles, drawing on evidence from the SI! Program. It addresses two key questions: how such interventions influence health behaviors throughout childhood and adolescence, and which contextual factors shape their effectiveness and sustainability. RECENT

findingsEvidence from multiple randomized controlled trials conducted over 15 years in diverse school settings shows that multicomponent, multilevel interventions can positively shape cardiovascular health behaviors. Studies involving more than 7,000 students in Colombia, Spain, and the United States highlight adherence and socioeconomic background as key determinants of impact. Intervention effects are strongly influenced by educational stage, adherence, and the school and home environment. Periodic reinterventions appear necessary to sustain benefits over time. Baseline health status and intervention responsiveness are also conditioned by socioeconomic context. Scaling and supporting such programs may foster lasting healthy habits early in life and help reduce global cardiovascular disease burden.
