The Role of Partner Gender in Bisexual Men's Stigma-Related Experiences and Mental Health: Results From a Probability-Based Sample in the United States.
Article in Stigma and health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Bisexual men are disproportionately affected by negative mental health outcomes compared to heterosexual and gay men. These disparities are related to the unique stressors that they experience, and emerging evidence suggests that their experiences of these stressors can be different depending on the gender of their partner. However, previous studies have largely focused on bisexual women and little is known about the role of partner gender in bisexual men's experiences and mental health. We examined the associations between relationship type and outness, stigma-related experiences, and mental health using data from Wave 1 of the National Study of Stigma and Sexual Health, a probability-based sample of 502 gay and bisexual men in the U.S. Analyses focused on the subset of 128 men who identified as bisexual (44.53% in relationships with women, 14.84% in relationships with men, 40.63% not in relationships). Bisexual men in relationships with men reported being more out than those in relationships with women and those who were not in relationships; furthermore, bisexual men in relationships with men reported more discrimination and family stress than those in relationships with women. Bisexual men who were not in relationships reported more anticipated and internalized stigma than those in relationships with men; additionally, bisexual men who were not in relationships reported more anticipated stigma and depression than those in relationships with women. Partner gender plays a role in bisexual men's stigma-related experiences and mental health, and efforts to improve bisexual men's health should attend to sexual orientation, relationship status, and partner gender.
