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
Background: Black patients seeking addiction care experience poorer treatment access, retention, and outcomes when compared to White counterparts. Black patients may have elevated group-based medical mistrust, which has been associated with poorer health outcomes and increased experiences of racism across multiple healthcare contexts. The relationship between group-based medical mistrust and expectations for addiction treatment among Black individuals remains untested. Methods: A total of 143 Black participants were recruited from two addiction treatment centers in Columbus, Ohio. Participants completed the Group Based Medical Mistrust Scale (GBMMS) and answered questions related to expectations of addiction treatment. Descriptive analysis and Spearman's rho correlations were performed to assess for relationships between group-based medical mistrust and expectations of care. Results: Group-based medical mistrust in Black patients was associated with self-reported delay in accessing addiction treatment, anticipation of racism during addiction treatment, non-adherence and discrimination-precipitated relapse. However, non-adherence to treatment was least strongly correlated with group-based medical mistrust demonstrating an opportunity for engagement. Conclusion: Group-based medical mistrust is associated with Black patients' care expectations when seeking addiction treatment. Use of the GBMMS within addiction medicine to address themes of mistrust in patients, and potential biases in providers, may improve treatment access and outcomes.
