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.
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
Background and objective: Chemsex, defined as the intentional use of psychoactive substances in sexual contexts, is increasingly prevalent among gay and bisexual men and is associated with a range of mental, physical and social implications. This study aimed to test a contextual behavioral model examining how psychological inflexibility, loneliness, intimacy difficulties, and internalized homophobia contribute to hypersexuality and sexualized substance use. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 252 Spanish-speaking participants who reported engaging in sexualized substance use within the past year. Standardized self-report measures were used to assess psychological processes and behavioral outcomes. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine direct and indirect effects among variables. Results: The proposed path model demonstrated excellent fit ( Conclusion: This study offers a novel contribution by modeling chemsex-related behaviors as forms of experiential avoidance shaped by psychological inflexibility, loneliness, and internalized homophobia. The findings highlight the potential utility of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing chemsex vulnerability by promoting psychological flexibility and values-based living.
