1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Online sexual abuse in adolescence encompasses various forms of digital exploitation, including grooming, sexting, sextortion, and image-based sexual abuse. Current research indicates that a significant proportion of minors are exposed to online sexual abuse. The psychological impact on victims includes severe mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Responses to online sexual abuse disclosures often require a multidisciplinary approach. In the Netherlands, Sexual Assault Centers (SACs) utilize the First Aid after Online Sexual Abuse protocol. This approach addresses immediate safety and (forensic) medical concerns, facilitates the removal of image-based content, and supports natural recovery while providing referrals for psychological treatment if needed. This paper highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary response to online sexual abuse, emphasizing the importance of integrating psychological, medical, and legal support to tackle the complex challenges posed by online abuse, ensuring effective, context-sensitive interventions, and supporting victims' recovery and well-being.
