Social power motives, gendered traits, and aggression in eSports: evidence from two survey waves.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: This study examined how social power motives and gendered traits relate to in-game aggression among Honor of Kings players. Methods: Two survey waves were conducted with HoK players: Wave 1 included 295 participants, and Wave 2 included 194 returning participants. Participants completed measures of dominance, prestige, leadership, masculinity, femininity, and in-game aggression. Results: Dominance consistently related to higher in-game aggression. Prestige also showed positive associations with aggression. Leadership showed negative associations only when modeled with dominance, so this finding should be interpreted cautiously. Femininity consistently related to lower aggression, whereas masculinity did not independently relate to aggression. Discussion: Aggression in this eSports context is most consistently linked to dominance-oriented status striving. Femininity may protect against aggressive in-game behavior.
