1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper presents testimony from a primary care physician about the challenges of navigating post-assault health service referral options and judicial remedies for adolescent survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in rural communities in eastern Bolivia. We examine the protections outlined in various international, regional, and national laws; discuss relevant legal instruments and policies that aim to safeguard the sexual and reproductive health rights of adolescents; and outline mechanisms for their enforcement. We then apply the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality framework to analyze the extent to which post-assault health services and judicial remedies for adolescent survivors of GBV are sufficient, equitable, and effective. Through our application of this framework, we observe that many adolescent survivors likely experience re-victimization and re-traumatization as they navigate a fragmented patchwork of resources following their victimization. Based on this analysis, we argue for the integration of a human rights framework in designing, implementing, and evaluating post-assault care for adolescent survivors of GBV. We also contend that the 2023 ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in
