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
This study explores how memorable messages of parent-child sex communication (PCSC) influence sexual agency and sexual health decision-making among 26 young Black women (YBW) through an integrated, intersectional framework. Data from the focus groups revealed that sociocultural stigma, gendered expectations, and structural barriers, including concerns about preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access due to insurance and confidentiality, limited open dialogue, and reinforced restrictive sexual scripts. Many participants relied on peers or the internet due to judgmental or absent parental messaging. PCSC was often moralistic, heteronormative, and emotionally limited. Findings highlight the urgent need for culturally responsive, sex-positive education and communication strategies that empower YBW in sexual health.
