Development and two-phased pilot RCT of a foster/kinship caregiver intervention to improve sexual health communication with youth.
Article in Children and youth services review, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03331016 (Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Sexual Health Curriculum for Foster and Kinship Caregivers), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeFoster youth have high rates of unintended teen pregnancies and other negative sexual health outcomes. Foster and kinship caregivers (FKC) are an untapped resource to reduce risks. We conducted a two-phase pilot study to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and assess preliminary efficacy of a training designed to improve caregiver communication, monitoring and conflict behaviors and improve sexual health outcomes for youth in foster care. Our study included a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) component.
