Sexual health knowledge, sources of information, and associated attitudinal disconnects among university students.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate university students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sexual and reproductive health.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted using face-to-face questionnaires administered on a voluntary basis to university students aged 18-26 presenting to the Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University Kötekli No. 4 Family Health Center. Data were analyzed using International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Statistics version 26.0. Associations between categorical variables were evaluated using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.
resultsA total of 383 students participated in the study (55.4% female, n=212; 44.6% male, n=171). Of the participants, 42.3% reported having sexual experience, which was significantly higher among males (p=0.002). The most common source of information on sexual and reproductive health was the internet (65.3%). The best-known family planning method was the condom (98.7%). The most commonly known sexually transmitted infection was human ımmunodeficiency virus/acquired ımmunodeficiency syndrome, and the most frequently reported symptom was genital discharge.
conclusionUniversity students' level of knowledge regarding sexual and reproductive health is insufficient, and this gap suggests that knowledge alone is insufficient to drive behavior change, and that sociocultural and cognitive barriers-such as stigma, perceived norms, and risk misperception-play a mediating role.
