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: Adolescents constitute 16% of the world's population, among whom critical developmental changes influence their health. Risky sexual behaviors increase the likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted infections, with 40% of global new HIV cases occurring in individuals aged 15-25 yr. Objective: This study aims to assess sexual health attitudes among youth in Jordan. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April, 2024, involving 864 participants aged between 15 and 22. Data were collected through a validated online survey comprising 43 questions covering socio-demographic factors and knowledge/attitudes toward sexual education, masturbation, pornography, sexual behaviors, and menstruation. Results: Of the participants, 54% were females, 66.4% were university students, and 92.2% resided in urban areas. Most supported sexual education (72.1%) and its inclusion in schools (76.7%). Masturbation was recognized by 88.9%, and pornography had been viewed by 69.9%, with a strong association with male gender (p Conclusion: Despite prevailing cultural conservatism, Jordanian youth show considerable openness and awareness regarding sexual health. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive, structured sexual education and open dialogue to promote adolescent reproductive well-being.
