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
objectivesThis study examined individual and school factors related to stigma against seeking mental health support among Asian American and Latinx youth and tested whether stigma moderated the link between internalizing symptoms and help-seeking behaviors across different sources of support.
methodsData were drawn from a cross-sectional, routine school-based mental health needs assessment. The sample included 1,371 Asian American and 801 Latinx students in Grades 4-12 (
resultsResults revealed that younger students, Asian American youth (compared to Latinx youth), students who preferred not to share their gender (compared to male students), and youth experiencing internalizing symptoms endorsed higher stigma against help-seeking. Stigma significantly moderated the relationship between internalizing symptoms and help-seeking for both Asian American and Latinx youth for different sources of support. Results indicated that stigma was a barrier for Asian American youth with internalizing symptoms when seeking support from adults, but not from peers or formal services. Meanwhile, stigma was a barrier for Latinx youth seeking support from peers and formal services, but not from adults.
conclusionsFindings highlight that high stigma is a barrier to seeking help among Asian American and Latinx youth experiencing internalizing symptoms across different sources of support. Findings support the need for stigma reduction interventions, with attention to structural influences on stigma and cultural factors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
