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
issue addressedYoung people's engagement with sexual content online has received ongoing attention in both policy and practice. However, there remains limited understanding of how health promoters can best engage with digital environments to support young people's learning about sex and relationships in the context of their existing digital practices.
methodsQualitative, in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 young people aged 18-25 and 22 key informants specialising in relationships and sexuality education (RSE), sexual health and digital content design.
resultsYoung people interact with digital sexual health content from a wide range of sources and platforms. This environment serves as an important space for self-exploration in relation to sex, relationships and identity that is situated in the broader context of young people's offline environment, community, and friendships.
conclusionsDigital spaces support young people to develop skills and knowledge about sex, relationships and identity by providing access to diverse resources across various platforms and communication modes. Having a range of information and perspectives online enables young people to exercise their judgement, critically reflect and build their skills and knowledge in important ways. SO WHAT?: To support young people's sexual health, it is necessary to understand the key elements of online engagement that help young people in building an understanding of sex and relationships. This includes an understanding of online health promotion as contributing to existing formal and informal sexual health messaging.
