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

purposeTo evaluate a health systems intervention to increase adolescents' receipt of high-quality sexual and reproductive health care services.

methodsQuasi experimental design. Twelve high schools in a large public school district were matched into pairs. Within each pair, schools were assigned to condition so that no control school shared a geographic border with an intervention school. Five yearly surveys (T1, T2, …, T5) were administered from 2005 to 2009 (N = 29,823) to students in randomly selected classes in grades 9-12. Community-based providers of high-quality sexual and reproductive health care services were listed on a referral guide for use by school nurses to connect adolescents to care.

resultsStatistically significant effects were found for intervention school females on three outcomes, relative to controls. Relative to T1, receipt of birth control in the past year was greater at T4 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-3.15) and T5 (AOR = 2.22; 95% CI, 1.32-3.74). Increases in sexually transmitted disease testing and/or treatment in the past year were greater in T1-T3 (AOR = 1.78; 95% CI, 1.05-3.02), T1-T4 (AOR = 1.73; 95% CI, 1.01-2.97), T1-T5 (AOR = 1.97; 95% CI, 1.17-3.31), and T2-T5 (AOR = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.06-2.91). Increases in ever receiving an HIV test were greater in T1-T4 (AOR = 2.14; 95% CI, 1.08-4.26). Among males, no intervention effects were found.

conclusionsA school-based structural intervention can improve female adolescents' receipt of services.
