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

Previous studies have demonstrated that women in male-dominated fields face a challenging "double bind"-they must display traditionally masculine traits while maintaining feminine qualities. This study provides a corpus-assisted discourse analysis of gender performances by male and female entrepreneurs on Twitter (now X) at three levels: (1) issues, (2) personality traits, and (3) linguistic styles. The primary purpose is to examine how the "double bind" manifests in male and female entrepreneurs' social media performances. The findings suggest that both male and female entrepreneurs strategically navigate the "double bind", balancing gender role expectations while engaging their followers across diverse topics. Their performances feature a "double bind" with a twist, as both male and female entrepreneurs tend to adopt an interactive and engaging style rather than a combative and confrontational one to connect with their followers and maintain interactive intimacy.
