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
introductionResearch on adolescent sexuality is primarily cross-sectional and often neglects interpersonal factors that may play a key role in promoting their sexual wellbeing, such as perceived partner responsiveness, that is, feeling understood, cared for, and accepted by a partner. The current study examined prospective associations between perceived partner responsiveness and sexual wellbeing (sexual satisfaction, sexual desire/arousal, orgasm difficulties, and sexual distress) among adolescents, as well as gender, sexual orientation, and partner continuity differences therein.
methodsIn two waves of a large, ongoing Canadian longitudinal study on adolescents' sexual wellbeing that took place between November 2019 and March 2022, a sample of 508 Canadian adolescents (M
resultsPath analyses revealed that perceived partner responsiveness at baseline was positively associated with sexual satisfaction and desire/arousal 1 year later, but not with orgasm difficulties and sexual distress. Moderation analyses indicated there were no differences in these associations based on gender, sexual orientation or partner continuity.
conclusionsFindings underscore the importance of feeling understood, cared for, and accepted by a partner in fostering sexual satisfaction and desire/arousal among adolescents, irrespective of their gender and sexual orientation. Perceived partner responsiveness emerges as a key target for educational initiatives on healthy romantic relationships and interventions during adolescents' early intimate experiences.
