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
STUDY
objectiveThere is limited research examining the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care needs and experiences of Black adolescents who are assigned female at birth (AFAB). This study aimed to understand the perspectives of Black AFAB adolescents in their receipt of SRH counseling in primary care and elicit preferences for SRH-related communication with clinicians.
methodsWe interviewed English-speaking Black AFAB adolescents, ages 13-17, living in North Carolina between February and June 2022 about their SRH care experiences. The interviews were conducted via video conferencing, audio-recorded, professionally transcribed, and analyzed using a thematic approach.
resultsWe interviewed 23 adolescents (mean age 15.8 years) across 10 geographically diverse counties in North Carolina. Most conveyed positive perceptions of clinicians regarding trust and comfort. However, many expressed concerns about clinicians not doing enough to ensure patient confidentiality, provide them with enough information to make informed and autonomous decisions, and destigmatize discussing SRH issues during the clinical encounter. Suggested improvements include sociodemographic congruence between patients and clinicians (eg, younger Black women), ensuring time alone with clinicians across adolescence, and proactively sharing information to promote respect and autonomy.
conclusionAlthough Black AFAB adolescents had positive perceptions of their health care providers regarding relational components of care, many participants shared significant gaps and areas for improvement in the quality of care received to better align services with their preferences for SRH care. These findings can inform the development of SRH counseling best practices and clinician education to support respect and autonomy, which are routinely denied to Black AFAB adolescents.
