1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: In Asia/Pacific, 24% of men 18-49 years report perpetrating rape. Longitudinal research on sexually violent behavior (SVB) is limited. We assessed risk/protective factors for SVB in a cohort of young men across Vietnam. Methods: 2444 male students attending six Vietnamese universities in 2024 participated in two pre-intervention waves of SCALE, an implementation trial of the GlobalConsent sexual-violence-prevention program. Marginal models with a logit link assessed wave-one risk/protective factors for six-month wave-two SVB. Predicted probabilities were derived for significant factors. Results: Six-month SVB prevalence was 15.5% (wave one) and 15.2% (wave two). Factors associated with wave-two SVB were: depressive symptoms moderate or higher (adjusted odds ratio aOR = 1.70), sexual consent knowledge (aOR = 0.44), prior-to-18 sexually explicit material (SEM) use (aORs = 1.92 non-physically-violent SEM, 6.29 physically-violent SEM once, 7.51 violent SEM more than once), 3-4 childhood-family-dysfunction types (aOR = 4.87), 4-6 child-maltreatment types (aOR = 1.90), and wave-one SVB (aORs = 2.23 non-contact, 4.57 contact). The predicted probability of wave-two SVB was 92.33% (95% confidence interval [CI] 87.58%, 97.07%) for higher-risk/lower-protection students and 0.69% (95%CI 0.07%, 1.32%) for lower-risk/higher-protection students on significant wave-one factors. Conclusions: Efficacious universal sexual-violence prevention programming and risk-reducing psychosocial support in higher-risk/less-protected men may promote healthy sexual behavior among male undergraduates across Vietnam.
