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
backgroundAdolescents face numerous challenges that influence their sexual behaviors. Among these, bullying victimization is a critical yet understudied factor that may impact engagement in unprotected sex. This study investigated the correlates of condom use among school-going Thai adolescents, with a main focus on bullying victimization.
methodsThis study is a secondary analysis of the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) conducted in 2021 among a nationally representative sample of students in grades 7-12 in Thailand. The analysis included all the sexually active students with condom use in the last sex as the main outcome variable. Bivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine the odds of using condom across various explanatory variables. Additional adjusted logistic regression models were constructed to examine the association between bullying experiences and condom use while controlling for the potential confounding effect of other explanatory variables.
resultsAmong sexually active participants, 416 (69%) reported using condoms in their last sex and more than half of them reported bullying experiences. Besides bullying, this study identifies several factors such as older age (< 14) and higher grades that were associated with lower use of condoms. Additionally, other psychosocial factors such as suicidal ideation and attempts as well as physical violence, and lack of close friends decrease the odds of condom use. Substance use, particularly marijuana and amphetamine/methamphetamine, was also associated with lower condom use. Although all types of bullying experiences were associated with lower condom use in bivariate analyses, the association remained significant only for bullying at school in the adjusted model (AOR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.18-0.86).
conclusionThe findings emphasize a holistic approach to addressing bullying, particularly within schools, and promoting protected sexual behaviors among school-going adolescents through early anti-bullying interventions and incorporating tailored sex education into school curricula, and at Thai schools.
