The effect of nurse-led body protection education on the sexual abuse knowledge levels of students with visual impairments: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06497803 (The Effect of Nurse-Led Body Protection Education on the Sexual Abuse Knowledge Levels of Students With Visual Impairments), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundSexual abuse is a significant public health issue, particularly during childhood, with profound negative effects on children, families, and society. Children with visual impairment face a heightened risk of abuse due to their reliance on tactile perception to navigate their environment and their limited ability to discern appropriate from inappropriate touch. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nurse-led body protection education on the sexual abuse knowledge levels of students with visual impairments.
methodsA randomized controlled trial with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test was conducted. Fifty-three students with visual impairments were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 27) or the control group (n = 26). Data were collected using the Children’s Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire – Revised, at three points: two weeks before the education, two weeks after the education, and two months post-education. The intervention group received nurse-led body protection education in small groups (3–4 students) during 40-minute sessions. The education utilized verbal explanations, a doll, and a distress whistle. Two weeks after the post-test, a reminder brochure prepared in Braille was distributed to the intervention group.
resultsThe intervention group demonstrated significantly higher post-test and follow-up scores in the “good touch” and “bad touch” subdimensions compared to the control group (p < .05). Additionally, their post-test and follow-up scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores (p < .05).
conclusionsNurse-led body protection education effectively improved the sexual abuse knowledge levels of students with visual impairments. This intervention can be feasibly implemented among students with visual impairments to enhance their awareness and protective skills.
