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

Aggressive behavior shows striking gender differences. Cross-cultural research shows that men are more likely to engage in physical aggression, while women tend to use indirect forms of aggressive behavior. Aggression is a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by situational, genetic, psychological and other factors. Despite being a transdiagnostic feature in numerous mental disorders, gender-specific differences and the underlying influencing factors have not yet been sufficiently investigated. Many findings originate from older publications and methodologically sound and in particular behavior-based investigations are rare. This article provides a narrative literature review that summarizes the current state of research on gender differences in aggression in selected mental disorders, including substance use disorders, psychotic disorders and borderline personality disorder. The implications for future research and the clinical practice are discussed.
