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
Across Myanmar, armed conflict and political instability have exacerbated poverty, food insecurity, and disrupted essential social protection services, severely affected people's health and wellbeing. This is especially pertinent for girls and young women, for whom gender inequalities are exacerbated during conflict, increasing their risk of various forms of violence. We aimed to measure the prevalence of parent/caregiver-perpetrated violence against adolescent girls across Myanmar and examine its association with exposure to conflict and gendered parenting practices following the 2021 military coup. We included 731 adolescent girls aged 10-17 years enrolled in a girls' empowerment programme, recruited from Mandalay, Yangon and Tanintharyi Regions, Shan State and Kachin State. We co-developed a cross-sectional survey tool with a team of peer-researchers, conducting it between September 2023 and January 2024. Measures included physical and psychological violence, exposure to conflict-related stressors and gendered parenting practices. Logistic regression analyses tested associations between key variables. 80.6% of participants reported psychological violence and 49.8% reported physical violence in the past year. Participants reporting 3 + conflict-related stressors were more likely to report physical violence (aOR=2.19, 95%CI = 1.24-3.89, p = 0.007), participants reporting 1-2 stressors were more likely to report psychological violence (aOR=2.04, 95%CI = 1.09-3.77, p = 0.025). Higher gendered parenting scores were associated with physical (aOR=1.06, 95% CI = 1.03-1.09, p < 0.001) and psychological violence (aOR=1.07, 95%CI = 1.03-1.10, p < 0.001). Conflict may exacerbate gendered parenting and is associated with more parent/caregiver-perpetrated violence. These findings highlight the need for interventions addressing adolescent girls' unique health and wellbeing needs in conflict-settings.
