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: Parent-adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) communication is recognized as an important protective factor against risky sexual behaviors and associated health problems, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. This study explored the specific approaches Ghanaian parents use to communicate SRH information to their adolescents. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to conduct interviews with 10 parents, with the sample size determined by data saturation. Participants were selected through purposive sampling from Asante Akyem North Municipality in Ghana. Thematic analysis was conducted inductively, following Braun and Clarke's approach. Findings: Two broad themes emerged: timing of sexual and reproductive health information communication and sexual and reproductive health information communication style. This study highlights varying parental approaches to sexual and reproductive health communication, ranging from proactive and open to authoritative communication. Conclusion: The findings underscore the complexity of parent-adolescent SRH communication, shaped by cultural norms, parental comfort levels, and perceived adolescent maturity. This highlights the need for interventions that enhance parent-adolescent communication skills.
