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

backgroundThe concept of sexual health poses a challenging issue in adolescent age groups, at least partly because cultural emphasis leads to perplexed structural limitations and inequalities, as well as complicated mutual responsibilities between the individual and society. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a qualitative study conducted using the conventional content analysis approach. The participants included 26 individuals (14 adolescent girls aged between 15 and 19 years, six mothers, and six sexual health experts) recruited by purposeful and snowball sampling to achieve maximal diversity. The data were gathered by conducting semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews. Participants were selected among school students and the community. The data were analyzed by the Graneheim and Lundman method.

resultsThe analysis of the interviews revealed four main categories and 12 subcategories. The main categories included physical-sexual health, emotional-psychological health, sexual socialization, and moral-spiritual beliefs. Finally, we presented the structural concepts of sexual health among adolescent girls tailored to Tehran's cultural and social context.

conclusionSince the topic of sexual health is a product of dynamic and suprasectoral relationships, it requires an organized approach and the participation of officials, stakeholders, health policymakers, researchers, and community members. Adolescent girls' sexual health is inseparable from their sexual well-being and general health. By determining the dimensions and defining adolescent sexual health as congruous to the social and cultural context, it is possible to act in line with the general policies of the country, that is, the approach of comprehensive health and healthy people.
