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

objectiveLesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ)-affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focused on minority stress processes can address gay and bisexual men's transdiagnostic mental and behavioral health concerns. Identifying moderators of treatment outcomes may inform the mechanisms of LGBQ-affirmative CBT and subpopulations who may derive particular benefit.

methodData were from a clinical trial in which gay and bisexual men with mental and behavioral health concerns were randomized to receive Effective Skills to Empower Effective Men (ESTEEM; an LGBQ-affirmative transdiagnostic CBT;

resultsRacial/ethnic minority identification, namely as Black or Latino, was the only statistically significant moderator of treatment efficacy ( DISCUSSION: Black and Latino gay and bisexual men experiencing comorbid mental and behavioral health risks might particularly benefit from a minority stress-focused LGBQ-affirmative CBT. Future research should identify mechanisms for this moderation to inform targeted treatment delivery and dissemination. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
