Article in Revista brasileira de epidemiologia = Brazilian journal of epidemiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo analyze the prevalence of sexual violence and associated factors among adolescent girls aged 13 to 17 years in Brazil, considering individual, relational, and community aspects.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study using data from the 2019 National Survey of School Health (PeNSE). Descriptive analyses were conducted and prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
resultsThe prevalence of sexual violence was 22.2% (95%CI 21.5-23.0), with the main perpetrator being a stranger (22.5%; 95%CI 21.2-23.8). Higher prevalence was observed among adolescents aged 16-17 years (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), those who used drugs (PR 1.3; 95%CI 1.1-1.4), consumed alcohol (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), had a history of sexual intercourse (PR 1.5; 95%CI 1.4-1.7), reported sadness (PR 1.9; 95%CI 1.4-2.5), had mothers with Higher Education degree (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), were bullied (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.2-1.3), were assaulted by friends (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.4), and felt unsafe getting to and from school (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.4) or at school (PR 1.3; 95%CI 1.1-1.4).
conclusionWe verified high prevalence of sexual violence among girls aged 16-17 years in Brazil. It was associated with individual, social, and community factors. Multifaceted interventions, strengthening of intersectoral public policies, and protective strategies are needed to ensure a safer environment.
