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

purposeThe influence of partner context (e.g., drinking alcohol in the 2 hours prior to sex, ≥3 years age discordant, met in public) on adolescent boys' and girls' condom use is unclear. Among an urban cohort of primarily (86%) minority 17-18-year-olds who reported having sex (n = 1,469), we assessed the association between condom use and partner characteristics for the most recent sexual experience.

methodsWe used logistic regression to examine the odds of condom use by measured partner familiarity (casual or unexpected) and context characteristics. Analyses were stratified by gender.

resultsAdolescent boys and girls were twice as likely to use condoms with partners they considered casual or unexpected. Adjusting for partner familiarity risk, adolescent boys' tended to decrease condom use with risky context partners. Adjusting for partner familiarity risk, adolescent girls were half as likely to use condoms with partners drinking alcohol 2 hours prior to sex [Odds Ratio (OR) = .6, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = .4-.9]; ≥3 years age discordant (OR = .5, 95% CI = .3-.8); or met in public places (OR = .6, 95% CI = .4-.8).

conclusionsRegardless of partner familiarity risk, adolescent boys and girls faced barriers to condom use with risky context partners. Increased understanding of adolescents' perceptions of and control over partner risk and condom use with risky context partners is needed. Interventions aimed at decreasing adolescent sexually transmitted infections should include strategies for adolescents to choose less risky context partners and negotiate condoms with risky context partners.
