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

Black same gender loving (SGL) men in the United States continue to experience mental, physical, relational, and financial health inequities due to the impact of various systems of oppression. Despite this fact, there are few health interventions developed specifically for Black SGL men that address health outcomes beyond sexual health. Despite strong evidence that spirituality is a cultural strength associated with positive health outcomes for Black SGL men, it has seldom been incorporated into health interventions as a central mechanism for facilitating this group's well-being. The present qualitative study utilized a hybrid (i.e., codebook and reflexive) approach of thematic analysis to analyze data from individual semi-structured interviews with 29 Black SGL men across the United States. Three themes were generated: (1) Harmful and Nonresponsive Institutions; (2) Diversity, Detail, and Black SGL Men's Preferences in Intervention Design; and (3) Multilevel Positive Holistic Impact. Findings from this study may be used to develop spirituality-based holistic health interventions for Black SGL men in the United States. Such interventions have the potential to effectively reduce health inequities among this population.
