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
objectivesSuicides among Black adults in the United States increased nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic, although limited empirical evidence documents the pathways that explain how suicide risk may develop in this population. We examined experiences of non-organizational religious involvement, gratitude, and loneliness and their relation to suicidal ideation among Black adults in the United States.
methodsWe analyzed data from a probability-based sample of 995 Black adults in the United States who completed online surveys from April through June 2022. We recruited participants from the AmeriSpeak panel at the National Opinion Research Center. We applied structural equation modeling techniques to measure direct and indirect associations among religiosity, positive psychology, and mental health variables. We tested whether non-organizational religiosity was indirectly associated with suicidal ideation via feelings of gratitude and COVID-19-specific forms of loneliness during the pandemic.
resultsThe measurement model demonstrated a good fit to the data. Structural model results indicated that non-organizational religious involvement was positively related to gratitude (β = 0.51;
conclusionsPublic health officials should account for feelings of gratitude and loneliness as mechanisms that can be leveraged to inform the development of evidence-based suicide prevention interventions for Black adults during public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
