Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 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
Although pornography cravings can affect many aspects of a user's life, only the Pornography Craving Questionnaire has been developed to assess pornography cravings in adults. We aimed to culturally adapt and evaluate the measurement properties of the Brazilian version of the Pornography Craving Questionnaire (Br-PCQ) in adults, and create a psychometric cut-off point to identify higher levels of craving. This was an online study conducted with 1540 Brazilian people (813 females and 727 males) over 18 years (30.59 ± 10.30 years). According to COSMIN, we translated and assessed the content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, measurement invariance between biological sexes, construct validity, test-retest reliability, measurement error, and floor and ceiling effects of the Br-PCQ. Item response theory was used to create the cut-off point for the Br-PCQ. The Br-PCQ content was reported as a relevant, comprehensive, and understandable nine-item, one-factor structure with adequate internal consistency. There was no invariance between biological sexes and the instrument had a positive and strong correlation with the frequency of pornography use. The Br-PCQ also showed adequate values for test-retest and measurement error and no floor and ceiling effects. For the new score calculation, the cut-off point to identify higher levels of craving was 10.80 points. Br-PCQ is a reliable and valid measurement instrument for assessing craving for pornography in the Brazilian population.
