Masculinity ideology and racism as indicators of obesity risk among Black men.
Article in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2019. 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
backgroundRacial inequities in health continue to persist and one major controllable and preventable risk factor is obesity. This study examined whether psychosocial factors such as masculinity ideology and frequency of experiences with racism may be significantly associated with Black men's obesity risk.
methodParticipants were 125 Black men aged 20-39 years old (M = 23.0, SD = 3.43). They completed surveys to measure masculinity ideology and experiences with racism. In addition, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings were collected. Results showed low negative correlations between experiences with racism and masculinity ideology.
resultsResults showed significant correlations between experiences with racism and masculinity ideology. There were significant interaction effects between masculinity ideology and experiences with racism for body mass index scores, waist-to-hip ratio and blood pressure.
conclusionFindings indicated that experiences with racism and masculinity ideology interact to impact obesity risk and prevention.
