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
Preventing sexual risk behaviors among early adolescents is essential, as it may delay premature sexual initiation and reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted infections. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a sexual health literacy promotion program in enhancing preventive sexual risk behaviors among lower secondary school students. The sample consisted of 114 eighth-grade students selected through multistage sampling and assigned to either an intervention group or a control group, with 57 participants in each group. The intervention group received the sexual health literacy promotion program (CoMMIT program), based on the health literacy framework and comprising five structured learning activities. The control group received the standard curriculum. Data were collected using demographic, sexual health literacy, and sexual risk behavior prevention questionnaires. Measurements were conducted at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using two-way mixed-design repeated measures ANOVA and independent
