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
Background: About 600,000 children are estimated to depend on street life in Ethiopia. Estimates conclude that about 65% of street children hardly have any access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. However, sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS among street children have been reported as being very high and some studies showed that it can be higher than that of female sex workers, truck drivers and prisoners. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the sexual and reproductive health problems of street youths and their need in East Gojjam Zone, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: An explanatory qualitative study design was conducted on street youths residing in East Gojjam Zone town administrations from February to March, 2019. Purposively selected street youths and positioned individuals who were residing in East Gojjam Zone town administrates were included in the study. The data were collected through focus group discussion and in-depth interview and analyzed thematically. Result: A total of 85 street youths and 8 individuals who were working with street children participated in this study. Most street youths had no clear information towards sexual and reproductive health. The existing reproductive health problems were sexual violence, sexually transmitted infection, unplanned pregnancy, abortion and substance abuse. Most street youths were interested in getting sexual and reproductive health information and other services by concerned bodies similar to the general population. Accessibility of job opportunities was also one of their needs to prevent the existing sexual and reproductive health problems. Conclusion and Recommendation: Most street youths were sexually active and attempted unsafe sexual practice which exposed them to sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancies and abortions. So a special reproductive health service is needed to avert these problems.
