Resilience in Black Women: Lifeline or Double-Edged Sword?
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Black women face many health disparities, many of which are tied to the stress of being a marginalized group member. Resilience, defined as the ability to bounce back from adversity and continue with life, has been introduced as a method to buffer the stress that Black women experience and improve their outcomes. However, there is not a universally agreed-upon definition of resilience in the literature. Thus, it is unclear how resilience works broadly, particularly for Black women. It is important to explore whether resilience is as positive as many scholars have perceived it to be. The current review analyzes 28 empirical articles that looked at stress, resilience, and health outcomes in Black women. The review revealed that there are many inconsistencies in how both stress and resilience are measured. Further, the positive effects of resilience seem to be largely context-dependent and vary depending on the demographic and health outcomes explored.
