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

The Questionnaire of Cognitive Schema Activation in Sexual Context (QCSASC) is a validated and widespread used measure to assess the self-schemas elicited during sexual negative events in both men and women. The current study aimed to test the psychometric characteristics of the Italian version of the QCSASC in both heterosexual men and women. After linguistic translation, the psychometric properties (internal consistency, construct and discriminant validity) were evaluated in 1038 participants (435 men and 603 women, 767 healthy and 271 clinicals complaining of sexual problems). Confirmatory factor analyses showed a not satisfactory fit of the original factor structure of the QCSASC versions. Principal component analyses were performed highlighting two new factorial structures, further validated with CFAs ("Helpless" and "Unlovable"). Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability and average variance extracted were used as internal consistency measures. Moreover, the QCSASC showed a strong association with emotional response and sexual functioning, being able to differentiate between sexually clinical and control group. Current findings support the validity and the internal consistency of the QCSASC Italian version and allows to assess dysfunctional cognitive schemas activated when facing sexual problematic situations for both clinical and research purposes.
