The Association Between Acculturation and Prenatal Psychosocial Stress Among Latinas.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Latinas experience high levels of stress in pregnancy, however few studies have investigated how acculturation affects pregnancy mental health among Latinas. The goal of this study was to determine if acculturation was associated with pregnancy stress among pregnant, predominantly Puerto Rican women. Participants (n = 1426) were enrolled in Proyecto Buena Salud, a prospective cohort study of Latinas. Acculturation on a bi-dimensional scale that allows for identification with both Latina and continental US cultures (i.e., bi-cultural vs. high or low acculturation) was measured in early pregnancy via the Psychological Acculturation Scale (PAS), language preference, and generation in the US. Stress was measured in early and mid/late pregnancy using Cohen's 14-item Perceived Stress Scale. After adjustment for risk factors, women with bicultural acculturation had significantly lower stress in overall pregnancy (β = - 2.15, 95% CI - 3.5, - 0.81) and in mid/late pregnancy (β = - 2.35, 95% CI - 3.92, - 0.77) as compared to women with low acculturation. There were no significant associations between proxies of acculturation (i.e., language preference and generation) and stress. Bicultural psychological acculturation was associated with lower stress in pregnancy, while proxies of acculturation were not. Bi-dimensional measures of psychological acculturation should be considered in future studies of maternal mental health.
