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
backgroundAdolescents are uniquely vulnerable to Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs), which advertise free reproductive health services but do not provide licensed healthcare or transparency in their practices. Despite the prevalence and harms of attending these clinics, no studies to date have characterized adolescents' baseline understanding and desired knowledge about CPCs.
methodsWe conducted 3 focus groups with a total of 14 adolescents from across Oregon to characterize baseline knowledge about CPCs as well as desired knowledge, including preferred educational activities. Pre- and post- focus group surveys characterized familiarity with CPCs. Focus group transcripts were analyzed for thematic saturation using Atlas.Ti.
resultsAdolescents reported little (n = 7, 50%) to no knowledge (n = 7, 50%) about CPCs at baseline and 100% (n = 14) reported increased knowledge by participating in the focus group. Adolescents emphasized the importance of school and health classes to set the foundation for their perception of accurate medical information. Participants reported a strong desire for more information about CPCs in school for their own self-advocacy and to foster their values clarification when seeking healthcare independently. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL POLICY: Schools can and should include information about CPCs in adolescent health classes. Education about CPCs may be incorporated into state and national educational standards about accessing and acquiring health information and local resources.
conclusionsEducation about CPCs in schools is desired by adolescents for self-advocacy and harm prevention.
