Why Do Spanish University Students Flirt in Nightlife Venues?
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 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
Recent years have seen increased scientific interest in sexual behaviors in nightlife settings. The majority of studies focus on criminal behaviors, such as sexual harassment and violence. The present study, by contrast, examined practices of flirtation among Spanish university students in nightlife settings with the primary aim of understanding why these practices are undertaken. The data come from nine focus-group interviews and 20 individual interviews. The results showed that flirtation served multiple purposes beyond mere playfulness or expressions of interest. The most salient of these were: seeking immediate pleasure; hooking up; working through current or former relationships; and acquiring sexual capital. This research advances understanding of the complicated art of flirtation, which is an activity highly valued among students, yet also potentially precarious and, at times, a source of harm.
