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
backgroundAdolescence is considered an important stage in the onset of high-risk behaviors. Identity styles have significant pathological effects in various aspects of high-risk behaviors. The present study was conducted aiming at investigating the association between high-risk behaviors and identity styles in adolescents. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present cross-sectional research studied 384 girls and boys studying in the second grade of High School in Babol in 2018. Data collection was done through a demographic questionnaire, Mohammadkhani's Risky Behaviour Questionnaire, and Berzonsky's Identity Style Inventory. Data analysis was performed using Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and linear regression analysis.
resultsThe mean age of adolescents was 17.21 ± 48.4 years (aged 16-19 years). Aggression (23.4%), relationship with the opposite gender (14.5%), smoking cigarettes and hookah (10.9%), consuming alcohol (9.3%), suicidal thoughts and attempts (5.7%), running away from home (3.9%), and consuming psychotropic substances (1.8%) were among the most common high-risk behaviors observed in the adolescents. The scores of high-risk behaviors were negatively correlated with the identity scores of informational style (4.56 ± 3.107), normative style (4.45 ± 2.581), and identity commitment style (4.15 ± 2.245) and positively correlated with the scores of diffuse-avoidant style (4.15 ± 3.089). Regression analysis showed that only the informational style had a negative and significant correlation with high-risk behaviors.
conclusionsThe present study showed significant prevalence of high-risk behaviors and its relationship with identity styles in adolescents, which requires regular and planned health education intervention at schools.
