Mechanophilia - a case report of a specific fetishistic disorder.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In our case report, we present a very rare variant of fetishism, mechanophilia, by describing a case from our forensic psychiatric practice. Mechanophilia is a form of fetishism classified as a paraphilia, when a person is sexually aroused by various vehicles, most often cars, less often bicycles or airplanes. We report on the forensic psychiatric examination of a middle-aged man, who opened the fuel filler openings of cars parked in the yard of a car service, then smeared a substance of unknown origin into the tank and then performed a sexual act by placing his genitals in the filling openings. Our examination confirmed a sexual disorder, fetishism (including mechanophilia), which developed in addition to mild intellectual disability (IQ:66) - classified as a paraphilia.
