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
Risky sexual behavior is a workplace concern that particularly affects young adults in the working-age grou Among factory employees, it poses challenges for both private and government sectors, hindering progress toward sustainable development. This study aimed to assess risky sexual behavior and its associated factors among employees in industrial parks in Northeast Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 410 participants using a systematic sampling technique. Data were entered into EpiData version 4.2 and exported to STATA version 16 for analysis. Model fitness was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, with a p-value > 0.05 indicating a good fit. Variables with a p-value < 0.2 in the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression model, and associations with a p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The prevalence of risky sexual behavior among industrial park employees was 24.4%(95% CI of 20.8-28.3). Prior residence (AOR = 3.53; 95% CI: 1.51-8.27), alcohol consumption (AOR = 3.41; 95% CI: 1.10-10.58), watching pornography (AOR = 3.02; 95% CI: 1.07-8.49), peer pressure (AOR = 5.83; 95% CI: 1.30-26.14), and being 21-24 years old (AOR = 4.93; 95% CI: 1.10-22.13) were significantly associated with risky sexual behavior. Nearly one-fourth of the participants engaged in risky sexual activity, indicating a high level of risky practices within industrial park settings. Therefore, there is an urgent need for targeted sexual and reproductive health interventions, including awareness programs, improved access to preventive services, and the promotion of safe sexual practices among industrial park employees.
