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
objectiveSexual violence against children and adolescents is a serious social problem. The characteristics of child and adolescent victims differ based on their varying developmental processes. Therefore, we conducted a comparative analysis to assess the same.
methodsData were collected from victims of sexual violence between 2015 and 2022, from a Sunflower Center, which is a government-sponsored center for victims of sexual violence. The participants were classified into two groups: children under age 12 and adolescents over age 13 years. To compare and analyze data, we collected demographic information, information related to victimization events, and scores on the Children's Depression Inventory, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale. A descriptive analysis, χ 2 test, Fisher's exact test, and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed.
resultsAmong 255 participants, 95 and 160 were children and adolescents, respectively. The percentage of forced molestation was significantly higher in children at 71.6% (n=68, p<0.001). Children included significantly more male participants (14.7%, n=14, p=0.007) than adolescents. Significant differences were observed between children and adolescents' depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress scores (p<0.001). Compared with children, adolescents demonstrated an adjusted odds ratio of 2.9 for high post-traumatic stress symptoms, 2.26 for high depressive symptoms, and 3.0 for high anxiety symptoms.
conclusionWe identified differences in the characteristics of sexual violence victims, particularly children and adolescents, and found that adolescent victims were more vulnerable to the psychological repercussions of abuse than child victims.
