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

Objectives: This study aimed to systematically review existing interventions delivered via social network sites (SNS) to promote condom use among youth. Methods: Studies that evaluated SNS-based interventions targeting condom use and/or its psychosocial determinants among youth (12-24y) were searched. Intervention effectiveness was defined as percentage of comparisons (e.g., across different follow-up times or between different groups) showing significant improvements in condom use or determinants, out of total number of possible comparisons within each study. Using Intervention Mapping, determinants clusters targeted by each intervention, the behavioral change methods (BCMs) employed, and theoretical match between the targeted determinants and applied BCMs were inferred. Results: Fifteen studies were included. Median intervention effectiveness score was 33.3 % (IQR: 16.65,75 %) for condom use ( Conclusion: While inconsistent reporting across studies limited identification of effective components, findings underline the importance of grounding interventions in behavioral theories.
