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
backgroundSifon is ritual sexual intercourse after male circumcision from the Atoin Meto tribe that contributes to HIV/AIDS transmission. Ritual Sifon may put at risk for HIV infection and also sexual transmission diseases (STDs). Doing ritual Sifon as a culture, without using protection during intercourse becomes one way to get HIV infection from infected men. Few studies explore this phenomenon among women who become Sifon. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the experience of Sifon women in the context of HIV/AIDS transmission. DESIGN AND
methodsThe data were collected from March to July 2020. This study used a phenomenological approach with a purposive sampling technique. INCLUSION CRITERIA: the women from Atoin Meto tribe aged above eighteen years old who have been Sifon women for at least six months. The participants were recruited through traditional healers in Nekbaun village of Kupang District and Timor Tengah Selatan District. The data were analyzed by the Colaizzi method.
resultsThirteen women were interviewed and we found four themes: lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission, unaware Sifon women, women who experienced STDs, using traditional medicine to treat STDs (Timor medicine).
conclusionsThe interpretation of Sifon women's experiences that performed Sifon rituals indicated that Sifon is a risk factor for transmitting HIV/AIDS. Preventive and promotional educational programs with a cultural approach are needed to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission.
