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
purposeThis scoping review analyzed research trends and the effectiveness of sexual media literacy educational interventions for adolescents and provided foundational evidence for developing effective programs.
methodsGuided by Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework, ten databases were systematically searched for studies published between 2015 and 2025. Studies involving adolescents and individuals who educate or mediate adolescents' media use were included. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full texts, yielding a final sample of 11 studies.
resultsThe included studies predominantly targeted middle school students, and the theory of planned behavior was the most commonly applied theoretical framework. Most programs (81.8%) emphasized strengthening adolescents' ability to interpret sexual content in media. Program duration ranged from 1 to 10 sessions, with total instructional time ranging from 90 minutes to 18 hours. Reported outcomes included improvements in sexual media literacy (72.7%), knowledge (36.4%), attitude (54.5%), behavior (45.5%), belief (18.2%), and interpersonal process (36.4%). The main teaching methods were lecture-based delivery (63.6%), offline interactive activities (63.6%), and web-based programs (36.4%). Overall, the programs improved adolescents' sexual media literacy, sexual health outcomes, and sexual health-related communication skills.
conclusionThis review provides evidence that sexual media literacy programs can improve adolescents' media interpretation skills and sexual health-related outcomes. Integrating learner-centered approaches with media-based instruction may be particularly useful and has meaningful implications for developing tailored sexual media literacy programs for adolescents.
