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

Group gender composition is a critical characteristic that influences both group perceptions and group performance. However, its effects on intergroup evaluations and interaction willingness remain underexplored. Across two studies (Study 1, N = 100; Study 2, N = 205), we manipulated the gender composition of four-person groups to investigate its impact. Our findings revealed that group gender composition significantly shaped perceptions, with male-majority groups being perceived as more agentic and competitive, and female-majority groups as more communal. Notably, we identified an intergroup gendered homogeneity effect, where individuals demonstrated enhanced evaluations, stronger gender-stereotypical perceptions, and greater willingness to cooperate with outgroups that shared similar gender compositions to their ingroup. This effect persisted even under competitive conditions, highlighting its robustness. These findings highlight the importance of group gender composition in shaping intergroup dynamics and reveal how gender composition similarity fosters more favorable intergroup attitudes and cooperation.
