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
Background: Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents is a significant public health concern in Indonesia. Despite strong religious and cultural prohibitions, premarital sexual behavior continues to increase. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study aimed to investigate the relationship between peer and parental factors and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to premarital sex among Indonesian adolescent girls. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using the data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The survey involved 10,691 unmarried adolescent girls aged 15-24, of whom 7,206 unmarried girls aged 15-19 were selected. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was implemented using SMART PLS software to evaluate pathways linking adolescent characteristics, parental and peer factors, knowledge, attitudes, dating behavior, and intention to engage in sexual intercourse (IC). Results: Only 1.3% of respondents reported engagement in sexual intercourse (mean±SD=0.013±0.113), with first intercourse experienced most common at ages of 15-17. Mean±SD for key variables included: knowledge (0.33±0.21), attitude (0.71±0.26), and dating behavior (0.23±0.21). Parental (β=0.011, P=0.016) and peer (β=0.012, P<0.001) factors were significantly associated with dating behavior and knowledge. Knowledge had a significant relationship with attitudes (β=0.012, P<0.001) and dating behavior (β=0.014, P<0.001). In turn, dating behavior was significantly associated with the intention to engage in IC (β=0.014, P<0.001). Conclusions: Both parental and peer factors were significantly associated with adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to premarital sex. Comprehensive interventions involving family-based communication, school education, and peer-led programs are needed to improve reproductive health outcomes.
