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 study examined how three dimensions of sexual stigma (enacted, felt, and internalized) were related to mpox preventive intentions among gay and bisexual men (GBM) through mediating pathways outlined by the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA). Data were collected from 439 GBM via an online survey during the peak of the 2022 mpox outbreak in the U.S. Path analysis examined associations among sexual stigma dimensions and mpox preventive intentions mediated through RAA behavioral predictors, including instrumental attitude, experiential attitude, injunctive norm, descriptive norm, capacity, and autonomy. Results showed that enacted stigma was not associated with any RAA predictors or mpox preventive intentions. Felt and internalized stigma were positively related to all RAA predictors, but neither of them was associated with intentions. Except for experiential attitude and injunctive norm, all other RAA predictors were positively related to intentions. Indirect effect analysis showed that felt and internalized stigma positively predicted intentions (R
