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: Staying in Juvenile Correctional and Rehabilitation Centers (JCRCs) exposes adolescents to high levels of stress, potentially increasing the risk of substance use cravings and drug-seeking behaviors. Preventive programs should prioritize enhancing protective factors and mitigating risk factors. This research aimed to identify the risk and protective factors related to substance use among adolescents in JCRCs in Iran. Methods: This study was a content analysis based on individual semi-structured, in-depth interviews with volunteer adolescents (aged 12-18 years) who had experienced JCRCs in Iran within the past 12 months. Snowball sampling was used to identify the participants. Open coding was initially conducted by reading transcripts. Then, similar codes were grouped and placed into categories. We ensured the utmost trustworthiness using constant comparison, member checks, peer debriefing, and revisiting the data multiple times. Findings: Twenty-three eligible adolescents participated in the study. There was no substance use treatment protocol to treat adolescent substance users. Buprenorphine was the most accessed substance in JCRCs. Risk factors included peer substance use, substance offers during high-stress situations, stress, depression, hopelessness, slow passage of time, positive past substance use experiences, curiosity, poverty, financial problems, and myths about quitting. Protective factors included establishing rapport, providing counseling and social work services, engaging the adolescents in daily recreational activities, and assigning them responsibilities. Conclusion: Shifting from punitive to supportive and preventive approaches within JCRCs by addressing peer influence, training staff in adolescent substance use treatment, and facilitating meaningful leisure activities could promote healthier behaviors among adolescents in these facilities.
