A cross-sectional survey about behavior of wearing condoms among college students who engage in sexual activity: the mediating role of attitudes of preventive behavior.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background and objectives: Although the global human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection rate has decreased in recent years, the proportion and number of HIV-infected individuals aged 18-24 years has increased. The main mode of HIV transmission is sexual, a large proportion of the infected population are college students, and numerous health education activities have been implemented to prevent HIV infection, where mastery of relevant knowledge greatly improves. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of necessary protective measures is not ideal during actual behavior, indicating insufficient conversion of prevention knowledge to behavioral. To understand the factors and interactions that influence preventive behavior, we conducted a cross-sectional exploratory study. Materials and methods: Participants ( Results: BWC did not differ significantly according to gender, academic qualification pursued, or subject major ( Conclusion: Our analysis indicates that PBPB acts on BWC through APB, PIR directly affects BWC, and PDPB can directly affect BWC, while also influencing BWC through APB. Future efforts to increase PBPB, PIR, and APB, reduce PDPB, and promote the use of condoms in sexual behavior among college students are warranted.
