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
backgroundAmid growing global recognition of the importance of young people's sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing, an intervention to support peer-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for young women involved in sex work in Ethiopia was implemented in 2020. Since 2018, conflict has driven an upsurge in distress migration by young women to some intervention sites.
objectiveThis article explores the experiences of young women involved in sex work alongside peer facilitators to understand the strengths and limitations of the CSE intervention and the broader impacts of conflict and distress migration, in order to identify implications for future interventions in Ethiopia.
methodsThe article draws on qualitative findings from implementation research undertaken with young women involved in sex work (
resultsParticipants' entry into sex work is characterised by an absence of supportive networks, yet their social isolation is exacerbated by the stigma of sex work. In areas affected by distress migration, adolescent girls and young women entering sex work are younger, and thus particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation by brokers, which further undermines their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
conclusionCSE interventions should include adolescent girls involved in sex work who are under 18, given their heightened vulnerabilities. Interventions should engage with a broader range of stakeholders, including police, social services and legal systems, to enhance the sexual and reproductive health and rights of girls and young women, and address violence and exploitation.
