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
purposeWe examined long-term mental health benefits of Fourth R, an intervention designed to teach healthy relationship skills and prevent adolescent relationship abuse. While we previously showed it to prevent relationship violence, the potential crossover effects on broader mental health outcomes, such as depression and anxiety, remain unexplored.
methodsWe randomized Texas middle schools to receive either Fourth R (n = 12; n = 1,332) or standard health curricula (n = 12; n = 1,533) and assessed racially/ethnically diverse participants at baseline and 5 years postintervention.
resultsAfter accounting for age, gender, race/ethnicity, adverse childhood experiences, and baseline distress, we found that students receiving the intervention were less likely to be depressed at the 5-year follow-up (odds ratio = 0.69, 95% confidence interval: 0.49, 0.97) compared to students in control schools. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest that promoting healthy relationship skills in middle school can have enduring benefits for mental health, offering schools a cost-effective way to address multiple behavioral health challenges.
