Article in Journal of gambling studies, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Studies have found that the main reasons provided by problem gamblers for calling a gambling help hotline are financial, legal, or relationship problems, but no study has looked into whether these motivators vary by ethnicity. In particular, this study sought to find if Hispanics were more likely to call due to relationship problems. Using data gathered by the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling from problem gamblers calling for help (N = 826), it was found that the most common reason for calling the hotline by all ethnic groups was financial. However, among problem gamblers calling for non-financial reasons Hispanics significantly reported calling for relationship problems and Whites due to legal problems. Blacks did not significantly call for non-financial reasons. Possible implications of these findings for education and reaching out to different ethnic groups regarding problem gambling are discussed.
