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
backgroundEarly pregnancy among unmarried youth is a serious public health challenge. Male youth's knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and its association with the risk of their sexual partners' pregnancy in China remains unexplored. This study investigates the KAP among Chinese unmarried male youth aged 15-24 years and identifies its association with partner pregnancy using nationally representative data from Survey of Youth Access to Reproductive Health in China (YARHC) in 2009.
methodsChi-square tests were applied to explore the prevalence of partner pregnancy by male youth's KAP of SRH and logistic regression were applied to identify the associations of partner pregnancy with knowledge, attitudes and practice among male youth.
resultsAmong 2853 sexually experienced male youth, totally 597 unmarried male youth caused 852 partner pregnancies and the prevalence rate was 20.93%. Lacking the knowledge of contraception access (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.44-0.99) was significantly associated with lower risk of causing partner pregnancy. Contraception discussion before (1.49, 1.04-2.11) or after first sexual intercourse (1.46, 1.11-1.93), not using valid contraception (1.29, 1.03-1.64) and male contraception decision-maker (1.79, 1.41-2.28) were significantly associated with higher risk of causing partner pregnancy.
conclusionOur results indicated that male youth's knowledge and behaviors of sexual and reproductive health were significantly associated with the risk of causing partner pregnancy, and highlighted the importance and need of sexual and reproductive programs targeting male for the prevention of unintended partner pregnancy in China.
