Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study identifies traditional conceptions of homosexuality and social stereotypes about gay men among Brazilian teenagers. A total of 178 adolescents (50% girls; age range 11-16 years) participated in 45 focus groups held at five schools in Brazil, in which a semi-structured script and videos depicting homophobic bullying were used to elicit their opinions. Thematic analysis revealed a dichotomy in their conceptions and stereotypes: While some spontaneously expressed homophobic conceptions (e.g., homosexuality is a sin or a pathology) supported by stereotypes (e.g., gays are not real men or sexually harass heterosexuals), others openly condemned homophobia and actively voiced their objections to the former group's homophobic views. The analysis also reveals the persisting influence of religious beliefs in their perceptions. The study highlights the need to foster critical reflections in educational settings and the formulation of strategies to deconstruct homophobia and promote diversity and inclusion.
