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
Previous research investigating the correlates of sex/gender beliefs (i.e., "Sex/gender is binary and permanently fixed" vs. "Sex/gender is nonbinary or changeable") focused on right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). In the present research, we aimed at conceptually replicating previous findings on the relationship between sex/gender beliefs and RWA conventionalism. As a novel aspect, we additionally investigated the association between sex/gender beliefs and left-wing authoritarianism (LWA) anti-conventionalism. In two preregistered studies, sociodemographic diverse samples from the USA (N = 1431) and the UK (N = 1390) completed measures of sex/gender beliefs, RWA (and social dominance orientation in Study 2), and LWA. In line with our expectations, in both studies we found that the binary/fixed sex/gender belief was strongly associated with RWA conventionalism while the nonbinary/changeable sex/gender belief was strongly associated with LWA anti-conventionalism. Thus, in both studies, opposing sex/gender beliefs were related to rigid and restrictive authoritarianism, but to different ideological sides. Our results indicate that one-sided arguments about (right-wing) authoritarianism and specific sex/gender beliefs are shortsighted.
