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
objectivesDiscrimination is associated with worse health. Although interventions have been developed to improve coping with general stressors and chronic illness, no literature to date has reported the development and testing of an intervention specifically to address coping with discrimination. We examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of Still Climbin', a pilot intervention created to improve coping with discrimination experienced by HIV-positive Black sexual minority men, who face significant HIV-related disparities.
methodStill Climbin' was culturally tailored using community stakeholder input and formative qualitative research. Still Climbin' consists of 8 weekly group sessions and a graduation session, based on principles of cognitive behavior therapy. Sixty-four HIV-positive Black sexual minority men were recruited from community venues; 38 were randomized to the intervention and 26 to a wait-list control group. Participants completed assessments at baseline and 3- and 6-months postbaseline. Intervention participants completed postsession feedback forms.
resultsRepeated-measures regressions indicated significant intervention effects on improved coping in response to discrimination, including functional (problem-solving) coping [b (SE) = 0.39 (0.19), p = .04], humor [b (SE) = 0.48 (0.22), p = .03], and cognitive/emotional debriefing [b (SE) = 0.30 (0.14), p = .04], a culturally relevant form of coping that includes self-protective strategies (e.g., strategic avoidance of certain places or people). Intervention participants rated the sessions positively in response to closed- and open-ended questions.
conclusionsStill Climbin' was feasible and acceptable to participants, and showed promise for improving coping with discrimination, which ultimately can lead to better health outcomes and reduced disparities. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
