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
The current study reports the findings of a pilot study on a community-based sample of adolescent males with harmful sexual behaviours (AHSBs) with sibling or non-sibling sexual offending. Specifically, the study aimed to determine whether using the Family Environment Scale (FES) could differentiate between individual, familial and offence characteristics of those who had sibling victims and those with non-sibling victims, and whether using this tool might aid clinical practice. Results indicated that sibling offending AHSBs experienced significantly greater current familial conflict than non-sibling offending AHSBs. No statistically significant differences between groups were present with respect to offence characteristics, victimisation histories and family functioning. These findings indicate that psychological intervention for harmful sexual behaviour between siblings should include assessment of familial conflict and that psychological intervention for this behaviour may constitute a wider focus beyond the sexually harmful behaviour itself.
