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: Child sexual abuse (CSA) has profound psychiatric and developmental consequences; however, the relationship between specific abuse characteristics and mental health outcomes in the Indian context remains insufficiently studied. This study examined psychiatric morbidity, developmental psychopathology, and functional impairment among children with CSA. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 children aged 6-17 years whose cases were registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act and referred to a government-supported protection center. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview, the Developmental Psychopathology Checklist (DPCL), DSM-5-TR-based clinical evaluations, and the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS). Associations between abuse characteristics and psychiatric outcomes were analyzed using Results: The mean age was 10.87 years ( Conclusions: CSA survivors exhibit substantial psychiatric and functional difficulties, with specific abuse patterns linked to distinct mental health outcomes. Early trauma-focused assessment, caregiver psychoeducation, and timely psychosocial interventions are crucial to improving recovery trajectories.
