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

Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AA/NH/PI) are one of the most diverse racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., encompassing origins from over forty countries. Historical biases stereotyping AA/NH/PI as "model minorities" compounded with familial norms of privacy regarding mental health in these communities has reduced the presence of AA/NH/PI in substance use treatment and research. This has led many individuals in U.S. society to inaccurately construe that AA/NH/PI lack mental health difficulties. In addition, although the term AA/NH/PI was developed to increase within-group solidarity and cohesion, the reductionism of categorizing AA/NH/PI into a single racial/ethnic group obscures the corresponding subjectivities of distinct AA/NH/PI subgroups. Such reductionism overshadows the underrepresentation of specific AA/NH/PI subgroups in substance use research, practice, and as investigators and students in the field. In this commentary, we, a group of AA substance use investigators, examine extant research on AA/NH/PI substance use and call to attention the underrepresentation of AA/NH/PI in the field of substance use: (1) as a diverse community understudied; (2) as investigators underfunded; (3) and as students under-supported. AA/NH/PI may be one of the fastest growing racial/ethnic groups in the United States, but because of structural inequities which forego seeing some AA/NH/PI as having minoritized identities, we have become invisible.
