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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to investigate whether acculturation to U.S. culture is associated with greater posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology through diminished family cohesion among Latinos living with HIV on the U.S.-Mexico border.
methodBaseline survey data were analyzed from a sample of Latinos seeking HIV care from a publicly funded HIV clinic in El Paso, Texas. We used a regression-based bootstrapping approach to test our mediation hypothesis.
resultsA total of 248 Latinos living with HIV completed the survey, with 96.4% being of Mexican descent, 19.4% female (gender self-identification), and 63.7% nonheterosexual (sexual orientation self-identification). Family cohesion mediated the relationship between U.S. acculturation and PTSD symptom scores (a1 ⁎ b1 = .03, 95% confidence interval [.01-.06]), an effect independent of acculturation to Latino culture.
conclusionsAcculturation to U.S. culture may negatively impact mental health through weakening family bonds in this vulnerable population. (PsycINFO Database Record
