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
This paper examines the relationship between family experiences of migration and adolescents' preferences about who should make the decision about who to marry in two migrant-sending regions. Shifts in parental involvement in spouse choice, like other changes in marriage and family systems, are connected to broader social and economic changes that reduce the centrality of family relationships. Migrant household members may contribute to these changes by reorienting family relationships and interdependencies or by exposing adolescents to new ideas and values. This study uses data collected in Gaza Province, Mozambique and Chitwan Valley, Nepal as part of the Family Migration and Early Life Outcomes (FAMELO) project. Using logistic regression, the authors analyze variation in adolescents' preferences for parental spouse choice by multiple aspects of migration (e.g., timing, reason), controlling for adolescent characteristics and other theoretically relevant predictors. Mozambican adolescents in migrant-sending households were more likely to prefer families choose their spouse than those in households without migration experience. In Nepal, household migration experience was not associated with adolescent spouse-selection preferences. The findings point to how a complex association between migration systems and local family structures may shape adolescents' ideas about family relationships and their family-formation preferences.
