Article in Journal of healthcare, science and the humanities, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Although Black men in the United States face high rates of hypertension, the nexus of health and religion remain understudied for this population. The present study analyzes religious variables, such as prayer, Bible reading, and religious meditation, to describe the frequency of these practices among hypertensive and non-hypertensive Black men. This study utilizes data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) 3 - Milwaukee African American Sample series, with 135 Black men (51.1% stating that they had experienced hypertension in the past 12 months). Findings suggest that Black men with a diagnosis of hypertension were significantly more likely to report that they prayed and read religious literature more often than their non-hypertensive counterparts. The results of the present study demonstrate key religious practices that hypertensive Black men might use as a potential coping response to their health condition.
