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
Introduction: Sexual dating violence victimization is a significant public health issue among high-school students, with short-term (physical injuries) and long-term (substance abuse) impacts. Mental health issues during the pandemic may have increased adolescents' vulnerability to experiencing sexual dating violence victimization by impairing coping mechanisms, reducing decision-making capacity, and limiting access to protective social support. Few studies have investigated demographic disparities in sexual dating violence victimization and how the pandemic impacted sexual dating violence victimization among high-school students. The aim of this study was to examine the demographic and racialized disparities in sexual dating violence victimization and assess the association between mental health during the pandemic and sexual dating violence victimization among high-school students. Methods: The authors conducted a cross-sectional study using 2021 national pooled Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance surveys of 234,572 U.S. high-school students. The authors used complex survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models to assess the association between mental health during the pandemic and sexual dating violence victimization in U.S. high-school students overall and subgroups. Results: The authors identified demographic and racialized disparities in sexual dating violence victimization, including differences in age, sex, and race. Females were more likely to experience sexual dating violence victimization than males (AOR=3.50, Conclusions: It is imperative to implement prevention strategies to reduce sexual dating violence victimization among high-school students. Strategies should prioritize mental health support, especially for those demographic and racialized at-risk groups.
