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.

Abstract
African-American women suffer from disproportionate adverse health outcomes compared to women of other ethnicities living in the United States. It is suggested in the literature that chron- ic stress can be an antecedent to health disparity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in perceived stress from late pre-menopause to post-menopause and to identify significant life stressors perceived by a cohort of African-American women. Retrospective and current data were used to evaluate perceived stress over time, sources of stress, and resources in a cohort of 15 African-American women. Mixed methodologies were utilized. Perceived stress scores were consistent over time. Six themes were identified in responses about stress: finances, caringforfamily members, relationships, personal health and aging, race and discrimination, and raising children. Understanding the role that unique life stressors play in the lives of African-American women is essential in anticipating the need for assistance and in implementing preventive strategies.
