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

Representative quantitative surveys assess the participants' gender in order to allow for gender specific analyses of the research questions and to draw conclusions about the populations. This is important in order to develop information and interventions tailored to the target groups. However, although gender is no longer considered exclusively as a binary construct, it is still often surveyed through a binary variable with the response options woman/man or female/male. In this article, we discuss why this approach is outdated or incomplete and why a move away from this approach is important and necessary. Using the GeSiD study on "Health and Sexuality in Germany" as an example, in this discussion post we demonstrate how gender can be assessed by means of a two-step model in which the first step assesses gender assigned at birth and the second step the subjective gender affiliation. At the same time, we discuss the challenges that this approach brings along. We place the results of the GeSiD study into a larger context and discuss the implications and possibilities for operationalizing gender in representative surveys.
