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

BackgroundMen live shorter lives and suffer more often from preventable diseases than women. This health pattern is associated with masculine norms that incentivize health-risk behavior. Masculinity threats represent a potential mechanism by which masculinity norms causally impact men's health behavior. In this scoping review, we map experimental evidence for health effects and moderators of masculinity threat.MethodsFollowing PRISMA-ScR guidance, we conducted a scoping review of experimentally manipulated masculinity threat and men's health across PsycNet, CINAHL, SCOPUS, MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science. Searches were supplemented using Consensus AI, Google Scholar and web searches. We included experimental studies with male participants manipulating masculinity threat and measuring health-related outcomes.ResultsA total of
