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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the preventive behaviors of young adults regarding sexually transmitted infections and identify the factors influencing these behaviors.

methodsThis descriptive study was conducted between May and December 2024 with a sample of 385 young women aged 18-25. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form and Behavioral Scale for Protection from Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. Data analysis was conducted using an independent groups t-test, analysis of variance, and posthoc analysis.

resultsThe mean total score on the Behavioral Scale for Protection from Sexually Transmitted Diseases was 83.91±9.03 (min: 57; max: 105). Single participants had significantly higher total scores in the information and protection sub-dimension of the Behavioral Scale for Protection from Sexually Transmitted Diseases (p=0.021). Furthermore, those who have received sexual health education demonstrated significantly higher scores (p<0.001). Linear regression analysis indicated that receiving sexual health education accounted for 14% of the total variance.

conclusionThis study highlights the significant role of sexual health education in enhancing awareness and promoting preventive behaviors against sexually transmitted diseases among young adults.
