1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSince 1998, the Federal Institute for Public Health (BIÖG, formerly Federal Centre for Health Education, BZgA) has gathered data on young people's experiences of sexual violence through the representative "Youth Sexuality" survey. The survey has been regularly updated and refined. Drawing on initial descriptive findings, the key results of the 10th wave are presented. These cover the prevalence of direct (hands-on) and indirect (hands-off) experience of sexual violence, information about perpetrators, the role of bystanders, and the process of disclosure.

methodsIn the first half of 2025, computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) were conducted with a sample (N = 5855) of adolescents (14-17 years) and young adults (18-25 years). The latest wave of the representative survey included questions on bystanders and the disclosure process.

resultsThe results reveal a high prevalence of both direct and indirect sexual violence during adolescence. Peers play a key role-as perpetrators, as bystanders, and in the disclosure process. DISCUSSION: The study supports national and international evidence that adolescence is a period of heightened risk for sexual (peer) violence. It highlights the crucial role of bystanders-both during and after sexual violence-suggesting that intervention and prevention efforts should also target bystanders.
