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

Sexual attraction and arousal to feminine transgender males (i.e., natal males who present in a feminine manner), who may or may not have breasts, but who retain their penises, has been referred to as gynandromorphophilia. Previous research indicates that some capacity for gynandromorphophilia may reflect a cross-culturally invariant feature of male gynephilia (i.e., the sexual attraction and arousal to adult females). This study examined Canadian cisgender gynephilic men's (n = 63) sexual attraction and arousal to nude images depicting cisgender females, cisgender males, and feminine transgender males with and without breasts. Sexual attraction was measured using viewing time (response time latency), and subjective arousal was measured on a Likert-type scale. Participants spent significantly more time viewing images of cisgender females and rated these images as significantly more arousing than all other image categories. Participants spent significantly more time viewing images of feminine transgender males with breasts than cisgender males and feminine transgender males without breasts. Participants rated cisgender females as more arousing than all other stimulus categories, and feminine transgender males with breasts as more arousing than masculine males and feminine transgender males without breasts. These data partially align with past research and further suggest that, when viewing images in a laboratory context, female sex-based traits influence male sexual attraction and arousal to a greater degree than feminine gender-based traits.
