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
Background: Reproductive health literacy (RHL) is essential for informed decision-making and reducing high-risk behavior, yet gaps persist among adolescents, particularly in culturally conservative societies like Iran. In the present study, we sought to identify RHL levels and associated sociodemographic and educational factors among medical sciences students at Babol University of Medical Sciences. Design and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from October to December 2021, enrolling 475 students via stratified random sampling. Tools used for collecting data included validated socio-demographic questionnaires and WHO-based RHL tools. Independent Results: The mean RHL score was 81.07 (adequate level). There were significant differences between the demographics and academic factors: higher RHL among married students than singles ( Conclusion: While RHL among these medical students was generally adequate, significant disparities were linked to gender, marital status, and academic major. Targeted interventions, such as revising non-medical curricula and introducing early RHL education, are recommended to address these inequities, particularly among males and younger students.
