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
Research has found that experiences of racial discrimination among Black youth contribute to adverse behavioral health outcomes, including depression and suicide ideation. This study is guided by social support theory and the stress buffering model to further understand how social connectedness can influence the effect of everyday discrimination on depression symptoms and suicide ideation. Using survey data from a sample of 362 Black youth (18 to 24 years of age) in the Midwest, the current study conducted path analyses to examine the direct and indirect effects of everyday discrimination on depressive symptoms and suicide ideation, mediated by social connectedness. The average age of the sample was 21 (SD = 1.96), and the majority of the sample self-identified as female (70%). Fifty-one percent of the sample reported suicide ideation. Study results found that everyday discrimination was directly associated with an increase in depression symptoms and suicide ideation. Results also indicated that social connectedness explained lower suicide ideation and depression symptoms through everyday discrimination. Implications for behavioral health practices addressing race-based psychosocial stress, and directions for future research are discussed.
