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

Introduction: Prior literature has shown how emotional variables applied to sexual behavior can be differentiated into two dimensions: an emotional context (EC) as a processing state and emotional drive (ED) as a motivation specifically oriented to each stimulus. Following this rationale, we aim to explore the full picture of ED values and profiles in an anchored repertoire of sexual behavior. Methods: A survey was conducted using an Results: The average scores showed a sample difference in responses, either in approaching ( Discussion: Our results reveal the importance of considering both positive and negative ED within an exhaustive repertoire and the usual experience of dissonance in the motivation of sexual behavior. All these variables must be considered separately to obtain a full picture and create proper profile descriptions.
