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
purposeEvaluate whether parents have ever discussed sexuality with their children with anorectal malformations (ARM), which sexuality issues they think should be addressed and who, in their opinion, should address these issues.
methodsParents from the Italian Parents' and Patients' Association for Anorectal Malformation participated in meetings organized by the Association together with local Pediatric Surgical Units and were asked to fill in a questionnaire.
results103 parents participated. Overall, 66% of parents had never talked about sex with their children. Children's age was marginally correlated with occasions to talk about sexuality (r = .202, p = 0.53) indicating that the older were the children, the more the parents talked about sexuality. The majority of parents reported that their children should have the possibility to talk about sex with them (72%), psychologists (57%), gynecologists/andrologists (47%), pediatric surgeons (33.5%), surgeons specialized in ARM (39.8%), friends (28%), nurses (24.7%) and teachers (20.4%), respectively. The most important topic they thought their children should address was handling serene sexuality, although the most common topic effectively discussed with them was the conception.
conclusionPsychologists, gynecologists/andrologists, and pediatric surgeons are seen as key resources for talking about sexuality. A great number of parents express the wish that their children had more opportunities to discuss sexual topics with pediatric surgeons.
