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
Objective: To analyze the prevalence of dating psychological violence among adolescents in the Metropolitan Region of the State of Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil, and its association with socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics and violence experiences. Methods: A cross-sectional and analytical study was conducted with 1,238 adolescents aged 14-19, enrolled in public and private schools in the Greater Vitória Metropolitan Region (ES), Brazil, who were in a romantic relationship at the time of the research. Sampling was by cluster and stratification. The outcome variable was dating psychological violence (yes/no), and the independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, risk behaviors, and previous violence experiences. Absolute and relative frequencies were calculated. Bivariate analysis used Pearson's chi-square test ( Results: We observed that 18.6% (95% CI: 16.5-20.8) of the participants reported having suffered dating psychological violence. The prevalence was 21.7% among girls and 13.1% among boys. Furthermore, higher frequencies of the problem were observed among non-heterosexual adolescents, those who had had sexual intercourse at some point in their lives, those who smoked cigarettes, as well as those who had suffered bullying ( Conclusion: The findings show that early romantic relationships can involve abusive behaviors linked to social vulnerability and prior violence, highlighting the need for education on recognizing abuse and fostering healthy, respectful relationships.
