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
backgroundAdolescent pregnancy has a profound impact on young mothers, their families, and their communities. In rural and indigenous areas, this effect is exacerbated by structural factors such as poverty, educational gaps, gender inequality, and discrimination against indigenous peoples. The aim is to analyze the association between parental communication about sexual and reproductive health and adolescents' knowledge of contraceptive methods in some rural communities of Mexico. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This study used a cross-sectional design based on the secondary analysis of data from a school-based survey of adolescents (12 to 15 years) in Mexico. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire to assess adolescents' sexual and reproductive health knowledge and communication with parents. The final analytic sample included 911 adolescents with complete information. The primary outcome was contraceptive knowledge, and the main exposure was parent-adolescent communication. We used frequencies and percentages to describe the study variables and logistic regression models to evaluate the association between communication with parents and knowledge of contraceptive methods.
resultsFifty percent of adolescents knew two contraceptive methods. While 86.3% were familiar with oral contraceptive pills, only one-third knew where to obtain them. Adolescents who discussed sex and pregnancy prevention with parents were more likely to know contraceptive methods than those who never discussed these topics.
conclusionCommunication with parents is positively associated with contraceptive knowledge, but gaps remain in functional understanding. Gender and cultural differences influence these dynamics, with stronger associations among females and nonspeakers of indigenous languages.
