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
backgroundIn low-income rural Rwanda, adolescent pregnancy limits health and education, leading to poor health outcomes, high dropout rates, and restricted socioeconomic mobility. While previous studies have inspected the prevalence, stigma, and health-related aspects of adolescent pregnancy in Rwanda, research is needed to investigate the impact of parental support and reproductive health education in these communities.
objectivesThis research investigates the connection between adolescent pregnancy, socioeconomic status, and parental engagement in reproductive health education in rural Rwanda. It also assessed the availability of support resources and challenges faced by adolescent mothers in school.
methodA cross-sectional survey used structured questionnaires with 1,635 individuals across Nyanza, Bugesera, and Ngoma districts. Qualitative data from focus group discussions with adolescent mothers and community leaders explored educational obstacles and resource availability. Key informant interviews offered further insights. Descriptive and correlation analysis examined relationships between parental support, socioeconomic level, adolescent pregnancy, and school dropout.
resultsSignificant parental involvement in reproductive health education was reported by 68.3% of parents. Ninety-five percent of adolescent mothers reported that being pregnant had a detrimental impact on their academic achievement. Adolescent pregnancy was significantly associated with poor socioeconomic position, and correlation analysis verified this relationship with school dropout.
conclusionThe study highlights the importance of parental involvement and enhanced support services, such as reproductive health education and school-based adjustments, to reduce adolescent pregnancy and improve educational outcomes. These initiatives align with the Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to empower young mothers and reduce inequality.
