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

Recent work incorporating gender into sex differences research has complicated the interpretation of both physiological and behavioral differences between women and men, which are traditionally interpreted as driven by "biological" sex-related variables. Alternative conceptualizations have been proposed to capture the complex relationship between sex and gender, such as sex/gender entanglement. Blurring the boundaries between gender and sex, the organism and its environments, this perspective has created a need for theoretical and methodological approaches that can be used to investigate the emergence of structures and behaviors in complex systems. Here, we review the foundational concepts of developmental and dynamic systems theories, which can serve as frameworks within which to investigate the emergence of complex phenomena. We then provide examples of empirical research programs that demonstrate the benefit of these frameworks in the context of sex/gender research.
