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

The relation between familial characteristics and adolescent viewing of sexually explicit internet materials (SEIM) has been extensively studied. However, the impact of ethnocultural context on these relations remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to address this gap by examining the moderating role of ethnocultural context in the associations between parental monitoring, family communication about sexuality, and viewing of SEIM. A total of 855 secular Jewish and Arab adolescents in Israel (58.5% females, Mage = 14.98 years, SD = 1.63) completed self-report questionnaires assessing these characteristics. Results showed that Jewish adolescents reported higher levels of family communication regarding sexuality and viewing of SEIM than Arab adolescents. While in both ethnocultural groups parental monitoring was negatively associated with viewing of SEIM, family communication regarding sexuality was negatively associated only with viewing of SEIM among Jews. In conclusion, our findings suggested that parental monitoring emerged as a potential protective factor against the viewing of SEIM. This factor may be more universal than culturally based. However, the effectiveness of family communication regarding sexuality in reducing the viewing of SEIM might be limited in Arab families. These findings emphasized the importance of taking the cultural context into account.
