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

Sexting is the exchange of sexually explicit content via smartphone or the Internet. These growing forms of technology-mediated sexual behaviors are common in youth. Recent studies investigated the association between personality traits and different kinds of sexting, from normal to risky and aggressive behavior. Few studies to date have explored the role of pathological personality domains in aggravated and risky sexting in emerging adulthood, particularly within the Italian context. The main aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate in a sample of emerging adults the association between the five personality domains (i.e., negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism) measured with the Personality Inventory for DSM-5-Brief Form (PID-5-BF) and aggravated and risky sexting behaviors, controlling for age and sex. The sample included 876 emerging adults (69.1% females) aged 18-29 (M
