Stigma, Treatment, and Health among Stimulant Users: Life Stage as a Moderator.
Article in Journal of applied developmental psychology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This 3-year study examined associations among drug use stigma, life stage, treatment utilization and health among 710 US adults using stimulants. Consistent with substance use developmental frameworks, life stage was represented by Emerging adulthood (18-25 years old, n=223), Earlymid adulthood (26-44 years old; n=384), and Older adulthood (45-61 years old; n=103). Emerging adults experienced less enacted stigma (i.e., experiences of discrimination) and perceived less public stigma (i.e., unjust treatment) over the course of the study than other life stage groups. More baseline enacted stigma was associated with more mental health and substance use treatment, whereas more baseline self stigma (i.e., negative thoughts about the self) was associated with less treatment utilization. Life stage moderated stigma-outcome associations such that substance use outcomes were worse for Emerging adults reporting more enacted stigma. Although emerging adults experienced less drug use stigma, stigma had a more negative impact on adults in this life stage.
