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
The increasing incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) among Malaysian late adolescents, coupled with insufficient HIV knowledge, necessitates immediate attention to HIV prevention via education. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills (IMB) model-based education kit (PREM-Kit) in improving knowledge and attitudes related to HIV among Malaysian late adolescents. A 16-week quasi-experimental trial was conducted at two campuses of a local public university, involving 187 participants. The intervention group received PREM-Kit's intervention in addition to the curriculum-mandated basic science and biology module, whereas the control group received only the curriculum-mandated basic science and biology module. Repeated measure analysis of variance (RMANOVA) and covariance (RMANCOVA) were used to examine the effectiveness of PREM-Kit's intervention on knowledge and attitudes between groups at four time points (t0-t3). The intervention group exhibited a significant increase in the knowledge score (mean difference = 2.66; 95% CI = 2.22,3.10; p < 0.001) and attitude score (mean difference = 2.74; 95% CI = 1.90,3.59; p < 0.001), which was sustained throughout the 16-week study period. In conclusion, PREM-Kit was effective in improving late adolescents' knowledge and attitudes related to HIV prevention. It has the potential to be a beneficial package for educating and empowering late adolescents on HIV prevention.
