Review in Sage open pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Premarital sexual practices are increasing among adolescents worldwide, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. This study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and identify factors associated with such practices among Ethiopian adolescents. Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Results: The pooled prevalence of premarital sexual practices among adolescents in Ethiopia was 35.04% (95% CI: 22.80-47.29). Significant associated factors included being male (POR = 2.57), having pocket money (POR = 2.87), alcohol consumption (POR = 3.73), and peer pressure (POR = 13.62). Conclusion: Over one-third of Ethiopian adolescents engage in premarital sex. Key contributing factors are male gender, access to money, alcohol use, and peer pressure. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address risky sexual behaviors among adolescents.
