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
Objective: This study examined the associations among problematic pornography consumption (PPC), sexual self-esteem, and sexual machismo attitudes in men aged 18 to 30 years from Francisco Morazán, Honduras. It also tested whether sexual self-esteem statistically mediated the association between PPC and sexual machismo. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 392 men ( Results: Overall, 15.3% of participants were classified as at risk of PPC, whereas 84.7% reported normal levels. Sexual self-esteem scores were moderate, and sexual machismo attitudes were low to moderate. PPC was consistently associated with higher sexual machismo, including after controlling for relationship status and sexual orientation. PPC was also associated with lower sexual self-esteem. However, sexual self-esteem was not significantly associated with sexual machismo and did not statistically mediate the PPC-sexual machismo association. Conclusion: PPC was associated with sexual machismo attitudes among young Honduran men, but this association was not explained by sexual self-esteem. These findings suggest that other psychosocial, cultural, or gender-role mechanisms may better account for the link between PPC and sexual machismo. Given the cross-sectional design and non-probabilistic sampling, results should be interpreted as exploratory associations rather than causal evidence.
