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
backgroundEvidence on adolescents' contraceptive use and education in Austria remains limited. We aimed to describe contraceptive behavior, satisfaction with methods and sources/content of contraceptive education among pupils in Tyrol and to explore correlates of any contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents.
methodsCross-sectional online survey (April-July 2022) of pupils aged 14-18 years (N = 369) recruited via schools. Prespecified outcomes included current method use (stratified by sexual activity), satisfaction ratings and education sources. Analyses comprised descriptive statistics, χ
resultsOverall, 91 (24.7%) pupils reported prior intercourse (median age at first intercourse 15 years); among sexually active adolescents, condoms (N = 64, 64%) and the pill (N = 37, 36%) predominated, while method non-use remained common (72%). Satisfaction varied by method; affordability scored lowest. Although > 90% reported prior education, 55% requested more information; condoms and the pill were most frequently covered. In adjusted models, any contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents was positively associated with older age and prior counselling.
conclusionIn this exploratory sample adolescents report mixed contraceptive use and a sustained demand for tailored information. The findings highlight the need to evaluate counselling quality and affordability in the future. Causal inferences and policy projections are beyond the scope of these data.
