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

objectiveDecades of research have been dedicated to the study and prevention of sexual aggression perpetration. Despite robust evidence linking acute intoxication and sexual aggression perpetration, few studies have examined this association in naturalistic contexts like drinking settings. Field studies are needed to inform etiological models and interventions that generalize to the naturalistic environment. The goal of this study is to guide researchers on the logistical and ethical considerations involved in conducting an alcohol field study by detailing the methodology used in a field study on alcohol and sexual misperception.

methodThis article presents a field study protocol for measuring sexual misperception, a precursor to sexual aggression, in patrons exiting bars. One hundred forty-three participants completed the study procedures.

resultsIn-depth information on procedures for site selection, recruitment, screening, measure selection, consent, and capacity assessment is provided. Ethical considerations, barriers to the implementation of field studies, and possible solutions are discussed.

conclusionsField studies can evaluate proximal causes of alcohol-involved sexual aggression and intermediary processes like sexual misperception in naturalistic settings. Greater implementation of field studies is required for a comprehensive understanding of alcohol-involved sexual aggression perpetration and generalizable interventions.
