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
aimTo explore sexual health expert's experiences engaging parents in sexually explicit media (SEM) literacy education, including parental comfort, barriers, enablers and insights to improve sexual health education for parents supporting their children to navigate SEM's influence. ISSUE ADDRESSED: Research shows that young people frequently view SEM/pornography, often from young ages (9 to 13). This can potentially influence their sexual attitudes. Parents are essential sexuality education providers; however, information assessing parental perspectives, resources, and programmes for SEM literacy is scarce.
methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with sexual health experts providing SEM literacy education via videoconference between January and April 2023.
resultsSeven, 45-min interviews were conducted with five experts from Australia and two from New Zealand. Experts reported parents being comfortable with the content they presented, yet experienced challenges with resourcing and accessing certain population groups. Participants perceived many parents lacked awareness of SEM availability and available support and wanted to maintain their children's innocence. Effective strategies for parental engagement included offering a variety of delivery formats and creating safe, inclusive environments by maintaining a neutral position on SEM/pornography. Parental and youth engagement in content development are crucial.
conclusionExperts encourage harm reduction approaches that support parents' ability to help their children develop the necessary skills to critique SEM and form attitudes conducive to respectful relationships. SO WHAT?: Findings can assist health promotion organisations to effectively engage parents in SEM literacy education and develop content supporting the development of young people's critical analysis skills.
