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

introductionBlack school students in the United Kingdom (UK) are exposed to racialized personal, institutional and systemic factors (e.g. racism and misogyny) that may impact their mental wellbeing and educational experiences. Minimal research exists to understand how racism and other adverse childhood experiences interact to shape students' mental health and wellbeing as they progress through education before commencing university studies, which this study aimed to achieve.

methodsBiographical Narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM) interviews (

resultsThree main themes were derived from Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), pertaining to the students' experiences of adverse childhood experiences, racism-related stressors in education, and coping strategies. DISCUSSION: The findings add value by offering recommendations for psychologists, educators, and policymakers to address racism and poor mental wellbeing in schools and to improve experiences and outcomes for Black students. Recommendations include self-reflection tools, funding for mental wellbeing interventions and resources, and enhancing professional courses to incorporate anti-racist curricula and practices.
