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
Residential racial segregation is a key manifestation of anti-Black structural racism, thought to be a fundamental cause of poor health; evidence has shown that it yields neighborhood disinvestment, institutional discrimination, and targeting of unhealthy products like tobacco and alcohol. Yet research on the long-term impacts of childhood exposure to residential racial segregation is limited. Here, we analyzed data on 1823 Black participants in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, estimating associations between childhood segregation trajectories and young adult health. Black young adults who consistently lived in high-segregation neighborhoods throughout childhood experienced unhealthier smoking and drinking behaviors and higher odds of obesity compared to other trajectory groups, including children who moved into or out of high-segregation neighborhoods. Results were robust to controls for neighborhood and family poverty. Findings underscore that for Black children who grow up in segregated neighborhoods, the roots of structurally-determined health inequities are established early in life.
