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
Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of sexual violence among university students (identification of sexual violence behaviors, self-recognition as victims and perpetrators) and its relationship with alcohol consumption and other associated factors. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study of students from six public universities in Catalonia, north-eastern Spain. Sexual violence has been categorized into three levels of severity, ranging from least to most severe. Results: 2,803 students participated (72.5% women). Regarding sexual violence victimization, 79% of respondents had experienced level 1, 59.8% level 2, and 7.5% level 3. Concerning perpetration, 15.6% had perpetrated level 1, 2.5% level 2 and 0.3% level 3. Sexual violence identification was high, with females identifying more situations than males ( Conclusion: This study identifies a high prevalence of sexual violence among university students, consistent with international findings and signaling a concerning trend. The results also show a strong link between sexual violence and alcohol consumption in university leisure contexts. Existing evidence indicates that alcohol facilitates rather than causes sexual violence, creating circumstances in which sexual victimization becomes more likely. The study highlights the need for prevention strategies and educational programs addressing sexual violence and reducing its associated risk factors among university students.
