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

Plurisexual women (i.e., women who are attracted to multiple genders) are at significantly higher risk for sexual victimization than monosexual women across the lifespan. Our study extends ecological models of sexual violence, minority stress theory, and traumagenic theory to this crucial high-risk population. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that a history of sexual abuse in childhood shapes women's schemas of their sexual selves as "immoral" and "irresponsible," which then increases vulnerability to sexual victimization in adulthood, particularly among individuals who experienced higher levels of sexual identity stigma. Participants included 229 plurisexual-identifying women (M
