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

objectivesThe increase in the use of social media has led to a concurrent rise in the prevalence of sexting, which has, in turn, resulted in risky sexual behaviour. This study aims to investigate the role of sexting in risky sexual behaviour among female students who own smartphones for social and educational purposes.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 undergraduate students of the Niger Delta University using a pre-tested and validated structured questionnaire. Data for the study were analysed using descriptive statistics to describe the socio-demographic characteristics and trends in sexting and risky sexual behaviour. In addition, inferential statistics (logistic regression) was used in testing the association between the dependent and independent variables. IBM SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis.

resultsThe results from the study indicated that those who had ever-sent nude pictures to their partners (OR = 2.504,

conclusionThis study confirmed the string influence of sexting on high-risk sexual behaviour caused by sexting. In light of this, academic institutions are advised to discourage the licentious use of smartphones.
