Magnetoencephalographic correlates of pornography consumption: Associations with indicators of compulsive sexual behaviors.
Article in International journal of clinical and health psychology : IJCHP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pornography consumption is highly prevalent but can develop into problematic sexual behavior with severe negative emotional consequences. Neurobiological studies indicate that compulsive sexual behaviors (CSB) are associated with altered brain structure and function in processing pornography. This study investigated the neuroaffective mechanisms underlying exposure to erotic and explicit pornographic images and their relationship to CSB-relevant symptoms. Whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) assessed brain activity during passive viewing of opposite- and same-sex erotic and pornographic images in healthy heterosexual and homosexual women and men (
