1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study assesses the utilization of Youth-Friendly Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Services and associated factors among secondary school students in Southern Ethiopia, 2024. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 365 students in Dilla Town from August to December 2024. Participants were selected from all six secondary schools using a stratified random sampling method. Binary logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services. Statistical significance was defined as Results: The prevalence of youth friendly sexual and reproductive health care utilization was 38.6 % (95 % CI: 33.6, 43.8). Factors significantly associated with utilization included urban residency (AOR = 1.96, 95 % CI: 1.03, 3.71), acceptance of service confidentiality (AOR = 5.95, 95 % CI: 3.04, 11.65), absence of stigma (AOR = 3.99, 95 % CI: 2.04,7.78), proximity of service centers (AOR = 2.58, 95 % CI: 1.27, 5.22), social media use (AOR = 3.09, 95 % CI: 1.13, 8.50), and open family communication on SRH (AOR = 5.99, 95 % CI: 2.16, 16.64). Conclusions: Utilization of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services was low. Strengthening confidentiality, reducing stigma, and promoting family communication are critical for improving uptake and supporting informed health choices
