1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There has been a growing research focus on social determinants to health disparities in general and medication adherence more specifically in low-income Black populations. The purpose of this study was to examine whether prior experiences of racism among Black patients in safety-net primary care indirectly predicts poor medication adherence through increased mental health symptoms and low healthcare provider trust. Two competing models were run whereby mental health leads to provider trust or provider trust leads to mental health in this multiple mediational chain. A group of 134 Black patients (76 men, average age 45.39 years) in a safety-net primary care clinic completed measures of these constructs. Results revealed that in the first model, mental health mediated the relationship between racism and provider trust, and provider trust mediated the relationship between mental health and medication adherence. All paths within this model were statistically significant, except the path between provider trust and medication adherence which approached significance. In the second model, provider trust and mental health significantly mediated the relationship between racism and medication adherence, and all direct and indirect paths were statistically significant, though the path between provider trust and medication adherence was omitted. These results may serve as catalysts to assess and attempt to mitigate specific minority-based stressors and associated outcomes within safety-net primary care settings.
