Dating Violence Prevention for Juvenile-Justice Involved Females: A Hybrid Trial.
Trial report in Pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe primary objective of this hybrid I clinical trial of Date SMART (Date Skills to Manage Aggression in Relationships for Teens) was to reduce adolescent dating violence (ADV) among juvenile-justice involved females over 1 year. Secondary objectives were to determine if the intervention reduced sexual risk behavior and delinquency. Last, we evaluate system buy-in vis à vis mandated referrals to the program.
methodsParticipants were females, ages 14 to 18 (N = 240), involved in a family court in the Northeast United States. The Date SMART group intervention consisted of cognitive-behavioral skill building, and the knowledge-only comparison group consisted of psychoeducation regarding sexual health, ADV, mental health and substance use.
resultsCourt mandates to intervention were common (41%). Among those with ADV exposure, Date SMART participants reported fewer acts of physical and/or sexual ADV (rate ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33-0.99) and cyber ADV (rate ratio, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58-0.96) at follow-up, relative to control. There were significant reductions in the number of vaginal and/or anal sex acts reported by Date SMART participants relative to control (rate ratio, 0.81; 95% CI 0.74-0.89). In the overall sample, within group reductions in some ADV behaviors and delinquency were observed in both conditions.
conclusionsDate SMART was seamlessly integrated into the family court setting and received stakeholder buy-in. Although not superior to control as a primary prevention tool, Date SMART was effective in reducing physical and/or sexual ADV, and cyber ADV, as well as vaginal and/or anal sex acts, among females with ADV exposure over 1 year.
