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

Research on mate choice has predominantly emphasized the female perspective, often neglecting the male viewpoint. In studies where infection status is considered a factor in mate choice, two critical questions emerge: (a) how does the condition of the choosing individual influence mate preferences? and (b) do the choosier sex prioritize healthy partners because of their attractiveness, or to mitigate infection risk? Here we investigated these questions in
