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: Sexual education of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex challenge, as the lack of specialized programs limits effective learning. Adolescents with ASD have difficulty understanding abstract concepts such as consent, personal boundaries and safety, which increases the risk of exploitation. Objective: This study seeks to examine the experiences and challenges parents face in providing sexuality education to their children with ASD, highlighting the need for programs that respond to the particular needs of these adolescents. Methods: The research was based on a qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews with 10 parents of adolescents with autism, aged 12-18 years. Thematic analysis of the data revealed important categories related to sexuality, consent, personal boundaries, and safety. Results: Parents face serious difficulties in communicating these issues with their children. The lack of specialized tools and limited support from the education system make it difficult to provide sex education. The need for practical examples and repeated teaching was emphasized. Conclusion: The research highlights the imperative to develop tailored sex education programs that will help adolescents with ASD understand critical concepts. Collaboration between parents, educators and health professionals is vital to strengthen sexuality education and protect adolescents from potential risks of exploitation.
