How masculinity and treatment impact posttraumatic stress disorder recovery in sexual minority men with sexual trauma: Findings from a randomized clinical trial.

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 violence and associated risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are pressing and pervasive public health issues. Sexual minority men, or men whose sexual orientation is not exclusively heterosexual, are at heightened risk for both sexual violence and PTSD compared to heterosexual men. Regardless of sexual orientation, stigma surrounding sexual violence and masculinity norms can interfere with trauma processing and treatment, suggesting a need for treatments that target these factors to improve PTSD outcomes. In this study, 356 men with sexual trauma exposure were randomized to either motivational interviewing (MI) or peer-delivered MI plus affirmative care (MI+AC) adapted to be more affirming for sexual minority men. In this secondary data analysis, we hypothesized that the masculinity scores on self-reliance and emotional control would be negatively associated with PTSD symptoms and that participants in the MI+AC group would experience greater PTSD symptom reduction. Findings from the structural equation models revealed that PTSD symptoms decreased over time for both groups (β = -.19,
