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
Introduction: Currently, risk assessment instruments are only valid for people who have already been convicted of a criminal offense. These tools are not applicable in the case of people who present themselves in a therapeutic context and with concerns about reusing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but without court order. This raises the question of how professionals can appropriately assess the risk of recidivism for this group of people. Following an exploratory approach, this study aims to identify key variables for the future development of a risk assessment instrument specifically designed for CSAM users in nonmandated, prevention-oriented settings. Methods: The study examined 131 male persons from two sites of the Do Not Offend (DNO) network (German translation: Results: Only the CASIC was able to predict the criterion, while there was no significant relationship with the STATIC-C and the CPORT without the CASIC. Using the external criterion-related strategy of scale construction, the items Discussion: The results are discussed with regard to their clinical significance and the validity of a new instrument.
