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
objectiveTo determine the extent of condom usage as a method of protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sexually active individuals obliged to present for periodical health examination at the Institute of Public Health for the Osijek-Baranya County, in Osijek, eastern Croatia. MATERIAL AND
methodsDuring February 2004, a cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted. The research tool was an unidentified 20-item questionnaire addressing the sexual behavior of study subjects and their partners and methods of protection from STIs. Descriptive statistics and χ(2) - test were used for data analysis.
resultsThe response rate was 84.2% (278/330). A total of 278 subjects, 96 (34.5%) males and 182 (65.5%) females, 167 (60.1%) married and 111 (39.9%) single, mean age 31.3±8.4, age range 18-52 years were enrolled in the study. Study results revealed 22.3% (62/278) subjects to have had two or more sexual partners over the one-year period and the use of condom was reported by 40.3% (25/62) of those subjects.
conclusionsThe obtained results point to the need for additional education on protection from sexually transmitted infections and on risky sexual behavior, with special reference to the role of condom usage in the prevention of these diseases and their detrimental effects on the reproductive health of sexually active individuals.
