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
purposePre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV is a safe and highly effective prevention method, yet use among U.S. adolescents at risk for HIV has been low. Little is known about how sexual health communication (SHC) and the quality of parent-adolescent relationships influence parents' hypothetical willingness to support their adolescent using PrEP.
methodsWe conducted 34 in-depth interviews with parents of adolescents recruited from four U.S. urban clinical sites between 2018 and 2019. We then used applied thematic analysis informed by two theories to determine parents' hypothetical willingness (more vs. less willing) and to identify related themes, focusing on differences between more versus less willing parents.
resultsParents were diverse with respect to race/ethnicity (68% Black/African American, 18% Hispanic). Most were cisgender men (44%) or women (41%). Approximately half (n = 19, 56%) were more willing. Four themes related to willingness were identified: (1) relationship quality, (2) acceptance of sexual and gender-diverse (SGD) identities, (3) sex positivity of SHC, and (4) general positivity about PrEP. Responses from more willing parents tended toward higher relationship quality, more acceptance of SGD identities, more sex positivity, and PrEP positivity; conversely, less willing parents tended toward the opposite ends of each theme. HIV risk perception did not consistently impact willingness, as both more and less willing parents largely perceived their adolescent's HIV risk as low. DISCUSSION: Parents who were more willing to support their adolescent hypothetically using PrEP tended to describe high-quality relationships, acceptance of SGD identities, sex positivity of SHC, and general positivity about PrEP.
