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
Gender stereotypes are prevalent in many societies and begin to emerge in early childhood. The present study examined the gender stereotypes and their association with age and gender in preschool. Gender stereotypes of feminine, masculine and gender-neutral traits and behaviours were collected in a sample of 104 German and Austrian children (52% girls) aged 3-6 years, using a 5-point rating scale. As expected, older children provided more gender-stereotypical responses. This association across age resulted primarily from an increase in extreme stereotypical and a decrease in counter-stereotypical associations. When comparing the gender stereotypes of boys and girls of different ages, younger girls already showed stronger gender stereotypes, while older girls showed more gender stereotype flexibility than boys at the same age. These findings provide new insights into preschool boys' and girls' gender stereotypes.
