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

Jaroslav Madlafousek, Ph.D., C.Sc. (1922-2008) was a Czech comparative psychologist, physiologist, ethologist, and sexologist. He made extremely important empirical contributions to the study of sexual behavior in both humans and rats, among others, helping to pioneer the use of plethysmography to measure genital sexual arousal in men. Here, we present a biography of his life, his struggles against the dictatorships that ruled his country, and his scientific and clinical achievements, many of which were decades ahead of their time but still remain unknown to researchers outside Czechia. We include a complete bibliography of his scientific contributions in both Czech and English journals in the supplementary material.
