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
Father-teen communication about sex can positively influence teens' sexual health, but few programs provide guidance for fathers to talk with their teens about sexual topics. This study qualitatively examines fathers' feedback on the connected dads, healthy teens intervention, an online program designed to support teens' health and promote fathers' sexual health communication with their teens. The research team used content analysis to analyze interviews with 25 fathers from across the united states who participated in the program with their teens. Findings showed that fathers viewed the program as impactful, describing gains in knowledge and communication skills, shifts in mindset related to their teens' sexual health, and increased engagement and closeness with their teens. Fathers described skill-building components with tips for how to talk with teens about challenging topics as a particularly useful aspect of the program, extending beyond talk about sex and relationships. These findings highlight the potential of father-based interventions to improve fathers' engagement with their teens to support their sexual health. It also shows the importance of concrete tools to support fathers' parenting, which have potential to impact fathers' engagement with their teens on topics beyond a sexual health focus.
