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 and Aims: Educating couples about reproductive and sexual health is crucial for enhancing marital well-being, fostering healthy sexual relationships, and ultimately strengthening family bonds. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of reproductive and sexual health education on knowledge and attitudes of couples in premarital counseling classes. Methods: This quasi-experimental controlled intervention study involved 200 people (100 couples) attending the General Health Service Center No. 8 in Rasht city. Forty eligible couples were selected using simple random sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention group (20 couples) and the control group (20 couples). Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire comprising two sections: the first covered four demographic questions, while the second assessed couples' knowledge and attitudes toward reproductive and sexual health. The intervention group participated in a tailored reproductive and sexual health education program delivered five 60-min sessions. Questionnaires were administered before the intervention and 3 months afterward. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, employing descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney Results: Demographic variables were homogeneous across both groups, with no statistically significant differences observed ( Conclusion: The findings underscore the effectiveness of premarital educational interventions in enhancing couples' knowledge and attitudes regarding reproductive and sexual health.
