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

This article proposes minimum requirements for reporting efficacy in treatment studies of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB). CSB disorder (CSBD) is a condition whose diagnostic criteria were only recently defined by the World Health Organization. Multiple primary and secondary outcomes have been used in treatment trials of CSB, and possible neuropsychological measures have been considered. We suggest including clinical interviews, specifying the nature of the problem behavior and ensuring that the concerns are not entirely related to distress linked to moral judgments or paraphilic interests exclusively. The minimum requirements of reporting the efficacy of behavioral and pharmaceutical treatment outcome studies proposed are measures of:
