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
introductionAdolescent self-disclosure is essential for relationship building, receiving support and mental well-being. However, little is known about whom adolescents confide in and what factors facilitate or hinder this process.
methodIn this mixed methods multi-informant study, twelve Dutch adolescents (M
resultsQuantitative results show that adolescents disclosed most to caregivers (especially mothers) and least to familiar adults, such as teachers. Semistructured interviews with adolescents and their parents were analyzed using inductive reflexive thematic analysis. Warm relationships and concrete opportunities to talk facilitated self-disclosure. Barriers included emotional distance and privacy concerns. Parents reported dilemmas between initiating conversations with their child and allowing space.
conclusionAdolescents appear to be willing to share distressing topics, but familiar adults may need to take a more active role in fostering disclosure by making time, creating an inviting atmosphere, and initiating conversations.
