'My sex ed teacher was extremely averse to talking about sex': Massachusetts students' experiences with and recommendations for sex education.
Article in American journal of sexuality education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This qualitative interview study investigated the opinions of 28 high school-attending youth in Massachusetts related to the content of their sexuality education, what they wished they could learn from a sex education class, and whether and how pornography was addressed. Participants felt that the sex education they received was not in-depth and did not provide them with the information they needed. Further, participants indicated that their instructors were not engaging, approachable, or credible sources of sex-related information. There was strong support for including healthy relationships education as part of sex education, and including multiple subtopics related to pornography (e.g., body image and pornography, compulsive pornography use, misogyny and pornography). Although there was no clear consensus on whether the ideal modality for delivering sex education is in-person or self-delivered, there was enthusiasm for the 'gamification' of sex education content.
