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
Sexual health includes psychosocial and physical competencies related to sexual well-being. It is unknown whether violent pornography is associated with sexual health. The objective of this study is to analyze whether different types of pornography are associated with sexual health in young adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey with 3607 people aged 18-35 living in Spain. Association of pornography with the dependent variables was estimated with generalized linear and logistic models. Compared to exposure to pornography with no explicit violence, men exposed to pornography with physical violence scored lower on empathy (coef: -0.054) and sexual assertiveness (coef: -0.034) and higher on acceptance of violence against women (coef: 0.122). Women who watch physical violence pornography scored higher on acceptance of violence against women (coef: 0.076). In men, watching pornography with physical violence was associated with poorer sexual function (OR = 1.9). In women, pornography with physical violence was associated with difficulty having an orgasm in a relationship (OR = 1.7). Violent pornography could have wide negative effects on men sexual health. In both sexes, violent pornography was associated with greater acceptance of violence against women. Inequalities were observed between women and men in the enjoyment of sexual relations, to the detriment of women.
