Validation of the Dutch Sexual Consent Scale-Revised.
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
Societal awareness of the importance of discussing and establishing sexual consent prior to sexual interaction is increasing. However, knowledge about Dutch young people's attitudes and behaviors related to sexual consent remains limited and a validated Dutch sexual consent scale is currently lacking. To address these gaps, the dimensionality and construct validity of the Dutch Sexual Consent Scale-Revised (SCS-R) were evaluated in a cross-sectional quantitative study among Dutch adolescents and young adults aged 16-25 (n = 555), including heterosexual (n = 373) and non-heterosexual (n = 182) individuals, as well as cisgender women (n = 378), cisgender men (n = 150), and non-cisgender respondents (n = 27). Three of the five Dutch SCS-R subscales-Positive attitude; Perceived Behavioral Control; and Awareness-demonstrated psychometric robustness and can be applied in their original form within a sexuality- and gender- diverse Dutch context. For the remaining two subscales-Consent Norms and Indirect Consent Behaviors-correlated two-level models are suggested to improve applicability in the Dutch context. Another key finding of this study is that sexual consent experiences were significantly less aligned with sexual consent attitudes among cisgender women and non-heterosexual individuals, compared to cisgender men and heterosexual individuals. In conclusion, the results support the use of the Dutch SCS-R in future research, although adaptions are suggested for two of the subscales. In addition, the results underscore the importance of developing inclusive, context-sensitive policies, educational materials, and campaigns that empower young people to respect others' boundaries and express their own preferences regarding sexual consent and activity.
