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
Adolescent girls and young women in Tanzania experience stigma related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and contraceptive use, which can discourage care-seeking and constrain reproductive autonomy. This mixed-methods pilot study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of participatory stigma-reduction workshops delivered in urban and rural Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Data were collected between February 7 and March 7, 2025. Forty adolescent girls and young women aged 15 to 20 participated in a 3-day workshop series facilitated by trained local female facilitators. The workshops were adapted from an established stigma-reduction curriculum and used participatory dialogue, critical reflection on gender norms, and peer learning. Participants completed pre- and post-workshop surveys assessing contraceptive use stigma, broader adolescent SRH stigma, and sexual double standards. Focus group discussions with participants and facilitators explored workshop experiences, acceptability, and perceived impacts. All participants completed the workshops and surveys, and qualitative findings indicated that the participatory format was engaging and acceptable. Contraceptive Use Stigma scores decreased from pre- to post-workshop (
