As it stands, the title could be misread as saying that only men make decisions.

Not reasonably (ie. Such a reading would be fallacious). The actual potential misleading implication in the title is that it is a finding that both males and females have their decision-making improved in the presence of (other) women. I agree that it would be improved by changing it to, for example, "Antibiotic seemingly improves decision-making by males in the presence of attractive women."
