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

backgroundSex education was introduced early in foreign countries. For example, there is a more systematic sex education system abroad, which can better achieve the popularization of sex education. China's sex education started relatively late, yet there are many problems in the development of sex education in China; for example, college students lack knowledge of sexuality.

aimTo explore the perception of sex education among medical college students.

methodsStudents majoring in medicine in a medical school were selected as the survey subjects. Anonymous online questionnaires were used to conduct the survey, and the results were analyzed using GraphPad Prism, SPSS, Microsoft Excel, and other software. The questionnaire was administered to understand the source of sexual knowledge, sexual responsibility, mastery of sexual knowledge, and distress caused by sexual problems.

resultsMost students majoring in medicine had no formal sex education, lacked sexual knowledge, or had a biased understanding of sexual responsibility. This study analyzed future research trends in sex education based on relevant achievements in the Chinese context and abroad to further realize the practical significance and value of sex education popularization in China and provide recommendations for parents and schools at different levels.

conclusionSex education should be conducted among college students, and medical colleges and universities should strengthen scientific sex education.
