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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sexually transmitted disease education provided via Instagram on university students' knowledge and attitudes about sexually transmitted diseases.
methodsThis pretest-posttest control group experimental study was conducted on 69 participants (Instagram group: 30, control group: 39). Participants in the Instagram group followed the @sexualinfectmarmara Instagram account prepared by the researchers. Five modules about sexually transmitted diseases prepared by the researchers were shared on this account.
resultsWhen the pre-training STD scores of the Instagram and control groups were compared with the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analysis, it was found that the scores of the Instagram group were statistically significantly higher than those of the control group. No significant difference was found between the sexually transmitted disease scores. After the training, the participants in the Instagram group responded significantly more with disagreement to the statement "sexually transmitted disease patients are easily recognized in society."
conclusionInstagram can be a new and alternative educational tool for increasing the sexually transmitted disease knowledge and attitude levels of university students.
