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

Sexual harassment (SH) is a pervasive form of gender-based violence that takes place in universities worldwide, undermining individual, community, and institutional integrity. SH occurs in-person and online, and it affects undergraduate, master's and doctoral students, and academic, administrative and service staff. Beyond its documented harm to health and well-being, SH also negatively influences professional and academic trajectories. Although formal institutional resources and mechanisms to prevent and combat SH exist, they remain limited and are not always effectively used. Most victims-survivors manage the situation on their own. Fear of retaliation and power imbalances affect not only victims-survivors, but also bystanders' actions. Universities must adopt equity-centered strategies that address structural causes, transform institutional cultures, reduce barriers to reporting and access to support, and protect vulnerable groups.
