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: Social anxiety can make significant life transitions from adolescence to young adulthood particularly stressful. Despite the potential impact, few population-based longitudinal studies have examined the relationship between social anxiety and the timing of key markers of the transition to adulthood. This study investigated the association between social anxiety and the timing of two critical life events: first leaving the parental home and first living with a partner. Methods: Data were drawn from 8,199 adolescents aged 13-19 who participated in the Young-HUNT3 survey (2006-2008) in Norway, linked with event registration data from Statistics Norway through 2020. Social anxiety was assessed via the Short Form of the Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory for Children, with scores ranging from 1 to 5. Accelerated failure time (AFT) regression analyses with a Weibull distribution were conducted to evaluate the relationship between social anxiety and the timing of first leaving the parental home and first living with a partner. Results: The final analytic sample size was 8,045. The median age for first leaving the parental home was 21, whereas the median age for first starting to live with a partner was 24. Higher levels of social anxiety were modestly associated with delays in both life transitions. Specifically, a one-unit increase in the social anxiety score was associated with an approximate one-month delay in leaving the parental home ( Conclusion: This study highlights the association between social anxiety and delays in key life transitions from adolescence to early adulthood. Despite these delays, socially anxious adolescents in Norway appear to reach these milestones-leaving the parental home and living with a partner-in their early twenties, similar to their peers. Although the findings are modest, practically, this information may still hold significant value in informing care providers and policymakers to focus on adolescents as a potential period for implementing evidence-based programs aimed at social anxiety. Future research should explore other stress-inducing life events and examine the long-term socioeconomic and health outcomes of adolescents with social anxiety.
