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
backgroundTribal girls constitute a vulnerable population due to gender and socioeconomic disadvantage and limited access to education and health services. They are frequently exposed to adverse experiences that cause psychological distress and increase their risk of psychopathology.
aimTo assess and compare the prevalence of abuse, perceived stress, and resilience among tribal and government school-going girls. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 581 adolescents, including 298 tribal girls attending non-governmental organization (NGO) run tribal residential schools (TRS) and 283 adolescent girls attending urban government schools, between the age group of 12 and 17 years. Abuse, perceived stress, and resilience among participants were assessed using the Hindi-validated versions of the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) Child Abuse Screening Tool - Children's Version (ICAST-C), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R), respectively. Group differences were analyzed using the chi-square test and the independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation was used to examine associations between abuse, stress, and resilience.
resultsTribal girls reported higher levels of emotional and sexual abuse and perceived stress (
conclusionsEmotional and sexual abuse, perceived stress levels, and resilience are significantly greater among tribal adolescent girls. These vulnerable adolescents need early intervention to reduce the psychological effects of adverse childhood experiences.
