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

Numerous contemporary studies have examined safe sexual behavior among college students. In China, families are reluctant to discuss sexual behavior, thus understanding and exploring the sexual knowledge of college students and the promotion of safe sexual behavior is essential. On the basis of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), a cognitive behavioral theory that is widely used to predict human social behavior, we conducted an in-depth investigation of the factors influencing the sexual behavioral intentions of Chinese college students. We referenced the relevant literature to develop a TPB-based model for analyzing differences in sexual knowledge. Our statistical analysis revealed the following: (1) subjective norms and behavior control are key variables that influence the safe sexual behavior of college students; (2) attitudes and safe-sex behavioral intentions are influential in groups with extensive sexual knowledge; (3) behavioral control and subjective norms influence the differences in the comparative sexual knowledge of students. On the basis of the present results, we propose research recommendations and directions for the development of sex education in China.
