Determinants of the utilization of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services in public secondary schools of Kogi State, Nigeria: an explorative study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThis study explored the factors associated with the utilization of Youth-Friendly Sexual Reproductive Health (YFSRH) services among school-going Nigerian adolescents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study employed a mixed method involving school-going students attending five public secondary schools in Kogi State, Nigeria. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the patterns of utilisation of YFSRH services, whereas inferential statistics were performed to determine factors associated with utilization of YFSRH services. Qualitative data were analysed by thematic analyses of records using an inductive analysis.
resultsOne in two secondary school-going students had used the YFSRH services. Most of the participants had poor awareness of YFSRH services and limited access to YFSRH services. While gender positively predicted the utilisation of YFSRH services among secondary school-going students (aOR = 5.7; 95% CI: 2.4-8.95, p = 0.001), we found that age (aOR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.67-0.99, p = < 0.001), and religious beliefs (aOR = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.77-0.93, p = 0.001) showed a negative relationship with the utilization of YFSRH services.
conclusionsOur findings highlight the influence of gender, age, and religion on utilizing YFSRH services. This study recommends the inclusion of sexuality education into secondary school-going student's curricula, in order to create awareness about the benefit of utilization of sexual and reproductive health services, and this is to encourage young people to utilize the YFSRH services.
