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.
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
objectiveSexual victimization (SV) is common among men who have sex with men (MSM), as is dating and sexual networking (DSN) app use. We developed a novel laboratory paradigm ("G-Date") of sexual violence risk perception in DSN app environments and explored its validity and the role of substance misuse and SV history on sexual violence risk perception.
methodUsing convenience sampling, we recruited 145 MSM to use G-Date to interact with two bogus speed dates whose responses were scripted to be risky or nonrisky. Risky dates displayed several cues indicating risk for sexual violence perpetration. Dependent variables included pre/post changes in ratings of their dating partner's appeal, ratings of the presence of each embedded risk cue, and the duration of the speed dates.
resultsCompared with nonrisky dates, participants terminated risky dates significantly sooner, rated them higher in each risk cue, and gave them pre- to postdate ratings of partner appeal that declined significantly more. Participants' drug misuse was associated with reduced interest in the nonrisky date but not the risky date and predicted shorter speed date length and lower partner appeal ratings across date types. Substance-facilitated SV history interacted with alcohol misuse and date type to predict sexual violence risk perception.
conclusionsResults provide evidence for the paradigm's validity and suggest that drug misuse and substance-facilitated SV history shape MSM's risk perception in DSN apps. Efforts to prevent SV among MSM should consider individual characteristics, including substance misuse, in risk perception.
