Intersection of age and gender: Links between negative interpersonal interactions and both blood pressure and mood in daily life.

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
objectiveBoth age and gender have been identified as unique moderators of the association between negative interpersonal interactions and affective and physiological stress responses to these interactions. However, evidence is lacking on intersectional effects, with limited data on how gender differences in affective and physiological responses to interpersonal stress vary by age. The present study tests the hypothesis that age and gender interact to moderate the associations between acute exposure to negative interpersonal stressors and concurrent stress responses in daily life, assessed with measures of negative mood and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP).
methodWe tested this hypothesis using data from participants (N = 644) within the New York City metropolitan area. Participants identified as either Black (51.55%) or Latinx (48.45%); the sample was approximately half men (51.55%) and ages ranged between 23 and 65 (M = 39.20, SD = 9.51). Systolic and diastolic ABP data were measured every 20 min, and real-time encounters of negative interpersonal interactions and mood were assessed using ecological momentary assessment.
resultsWe observed that younger women, when compared to older women, showed greater mood responses to negative interpersonal interactions. In contrast, older women, in comparison to all other groups, showed greater blood pressure (BP) responses to negative interpersonal interactions.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the way in which gender affects mood and BP responses to negative interpersonal interactions may vary across the lifespan. These findings provide developmental and mechanistic insight into affective and physiological responses and have implications for understanding the development of stress-related disorders.
