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
Background: While initiation of sexual activity is a part of a normal behaviour and development, it may also be associated with negative outcomes when sexual activity is initiated at too early an age, or without due attention to involved risks. These risky behaviours expose to different kinds of sexuality and reproductive health problems like STIs, HIV, unwanted and unplanned pregnancy, abortion and psychological distress. Objectives: to assess sexual risk behaviours among medical students of University of Nigeria. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of sexual risk behavior of the tertiary institution students. Results: a statistical significance existed between certain socio-demographic characteristics and sexual intercourse; these characteristics are age, level of study and place of residence (p <0.05). Major reasons for sexual abstinence include 'against my faith', 66(37.9%), 'waiting till marriage', 56(32.2%), 'not emotionally ready', 54(31.0%) and fear of pregnancy, 10(5.7%). Conclusion: Risky sexual behaviour exist among the respondents though with varying patterns.
