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

Since the 1980s studies on men have frequently utilized Connell's framework of hegemonic masculinities. We critically appraise this framework in the context of a population-based HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis study in Eswatini. Our findings highlight that men confidently show variation in their behavior and choices, which manifest across different men and within the same men acting in particular situations and over the life course. This led us to interrogate the hegemonic masculinities framework on the following grounds: Men's choices and behavior do not seem to fit the model of aspiring to a hegemonic ideal; the delineation of masculine traits as hegemonic or subordinate remain vague in terms of "responsibility," "fidelity," and "consideration for others"; the binary gender concept underpinning hegemonic masculinities seems outdated. Building on the work of Hirsch and Kachtan, we propose cultural repertoires as an alternative framework which also bridges the gender divide.
