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

introductionDespite evidence highlighting the dynamic nature of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) development and the common occurrence of discriminatory experiences, many studies treat these constructs as static and equivalent across individuals. Drawing upon the Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory (PVEST), this study examined the within-person covariations between ethnic-racial affect (individuals' positive feelings regarding their ethnic-racial background) and discrimination-based stress, and whether these relations were moderated by average affect and average stress.

methodThis study employed an intensive longitudinal design with 771 observations nested within 133 participants (Mage = 16.07, SD = 0.67), 52.3% were girls and ~93.3% were African American from Chicago, Illinois.

resultsResults from the multilevel model analysis revealed that within-person fluctuations in ethnic-racial affect were predicted by discrimination-based stress and that these fluctuations were person-specific. Furthermore, findings from this study also showed that the within-person fluctuations in ethnic-racial affect in relation to stress from discrimination were weaker for those with higher average affect and stronger for those with higher average stress.

conclusionsThis study highlights the dynamic and situational nature of developmental processes by emphasizing the within-person fluctuations and person-specificity. These findings highlight the importance of developing and delivering interventions and programs that promote positive ethnic-racial affect to mitigate the negative impact of discrimination. These initiatives should be offered consistently and tailored to address individuals' specific needs to maximize their effectiveness.
