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

Pedophilic sexual interest is a risk factor for sexual recidivism and has particular relevance for a significant proportion of individuals who have sexually offended against a child. In this article, we review the predominant ways in which pedophilia is assessed, including both direct and indirect approaches. The limitations of these methods are highlighted and the utility of incorporating more objective indicators into a comprehensive evaluation is examined. Particular emphasis is placed on the inclusion of behavioral correlates into a comprehensive and multimodal assessment approach. Implications for the assessment of individuals convicted of sexual offending and who present with pedophilic sexual interest are discussed.
