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
Introduction: We examine Black birthing people's experiences with racism, discrimination, and contextualized stress and whether those experiences are associated with preference for racially concordant prenatal care providers. Methods: This cross-sectional study is the quantitative component of a larger, mixed-methods study. Data were from initial (August-October 2021) and follow-up (December 2022-January 2023) surveys among self-identified Black and/or African American birthing people who delivered a baby at a university system between 2019 and 2021 and were at least 18 years old. Respondents were 3-32 months postdelivery at the initial survey, which collected data on demographics and the Perceived Racism (ranges 0-430), Perceived Discrimination (ranges 0-36), and Jackson, Hogue, Phillips Contextualized Stress Measure (ranges 0-355) scales. The follow-up survey assessed views on racial and gender concordance and continuity with prenatal providers. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed relationships between scale scores and agreement that racial concordance is important and preferable. Poisson regression assessed whether a top quartile score on scales was related to importance of and preference for racial concordance with providers. Results: Participants ( Conclusion: Black birthing people experience high levels of racism, discrimination, and contextualized stress. The overwhelming majority would choose racial concordance with their prenatal provider if possible.
