Chronic stress, autonomic dysregulation and prospective drug use among African American emerging adults.
Article in Cultural diversity & ethnic minority psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveChronic stress is associated with increased vulnerability to drug use and may contribute to drug-related health disparities in the African American community. The underlying physiological mechanisms by which chronic stress confers this increased risk remain unclear. The present study aimed to characterize the impact of chronic and race-related stress exposure on regulatory mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in response to acute stress, to examine John Henryism as potential moderator of this relationship, and to investigate the association between ANS reactivity and subsequent drug use among a sample of African American emerging adults (18-25 years old) in the Southern United States (U.S.).

resultsRace-related stress was associated with greater SCL reactivity. John Henryism moderated the relationship between chronic stress exposure and HRV reactivity. SCL reactivity was associated with higher rates of alcohol and marijuana use at 90-day follow-up. HRV reactivity was associated with tobacco use at 90-day follow-up.
conclusionsChronic stress exposure and active coping may interact to affect regulatory mechanisms of the ANS. ANS (dys)regulation may be an important endophenotype for increasing drug use vulnerability among African American emerging adults. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
