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
Background and Objectives: Exposure to discrimination stands as a prevalent social stressor and social determinant of health. This study sought to examine mechanisms linking perceived racism and discrimination (PRD) with youth cannabis use. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2021 Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey (n = 7,705). Latent variables were constructed to assess stress and mental health, sleep disorder and lack of physical activity, lack of family and peer support, and financial adversity. Separate mediation analyses were conducted to examine the pathways from PRD to current (past 30-day), and frequent (≥20 days in the past 30-day) cannabis use, adjusted by sociodemographic factors. Results: Adolescents with PRD (vs. no PRD) reported a higher prevalence of current use (16.2 % vs. 10.9 %, p < 0.0001) and frequent use (4.6 % vs. 2.7 %, p = 0.008). Stress and mental health mediated the pathways from PRD to current (β Conclusions: This national study identified important latent factors that are associated with youth cannabis use. Targeted interventions that reduce stress might mitigate the impacts of PRD on adolescent's cannabis use.
