Adolescent Sexual Behavior, Contraceptive Use, and STI Testing during the COVID-19 Pandemic (January-June 2021).
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescents' sexual and reproductive health (SRH) behaviors and access to services.
methodsWe analyzed data from the 2021 Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey (n=7,705) on sexual activity, condom and contraceptive use, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. We tested differences in SRH outcomes by demographics, racism experience, and English proficiency.
resultsCurrent sexual activity was higher among students reporting ever experiencing racism at school and self-rating how well they can speak English as "not well." Condom use differed by sex, sexual identity, and sex of sexual contacts. Demographic differences in contraceptive use were also identified. Sexually active females (vs. males) and males with same-sex or both-sex contacts (vs. opposite-sex) had higher STI testing.
conclusionDifferences by students' demographic characteristics and experiences during the pandemic highlight needs to enhance accessibility and quality of adolescent SRH services and education in schools, clinics, and communities.
