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

Researchers have long recognized the multiplicity of masculinity ideologies. While rigid masculinity, particularly in domains of stereotypical male roles, homophobia, and male dominance, is associated with maladjustment, inclusive masculinities have been found conducive to individual well-being. Yet little is known about how this multiplicity manifests in non-Western contexts, such as in China, where Confucianism, filial piety, and conservative gender discourse intersect. Based on the gender role strain paradigm (GRSP), this study aimed to identify patterns of masculinity ideologies among 1680 Chinese adolescent boys (M
