1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Online journaling is a methodological tool that has also been shown to have therapeutic benefits for some populations. However, the potential value - and limitations - of online journaling within immigrant communities remain underexplored. We present a proof-of-concept analysis exploring the efficacy and feasibility of engaging immigrant women in an online journaling project. We report on a study that used online journaling as an approach to explore the long-term social impact of the pandemic on South Asian and Latinx immigrant women in New York City. Findings suggest that this method may work particularly well with immigrant women because of the constraints they face in accessing support for mental health distress. The digital nature of online journaling may also promote the inclusion of immigrants in journaling-based studies because of its capacity to offer participants a greater range of options for how, when, and under what circumstances they choose to engage. We highlight study findings, reflect critically on our research process, and offer recommendations for the use of online journaling in future research and community programming. We argue for the role of community-based partnerships in ensuring rich participant engagement.
