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

We examined insecure attachment styles as mediators of the link between Superwoman Schema (SWS) and relationship satisfaction among N = 288 Black women. We also examined partner race and gender as moderators of the indirect association between SWS and relationship satisfaction through relationship attachment. Avoidant attachment significantly mediated the relationship between SWS and relationship satisfaction. Anxious and avoidant attachment significantly mediated the relationship between SWS components and relationship satisfaction. Partner race (i.e., observed for participants with a Black partner) moderated the indirect effect of SWS on relationship satisfaction through avoidant attachment. While having a Black woman partner did not moderate the mediation of SWS on relationship satisfaction via avoidant attachment, a significant conditional indirect effect was observed. Findings highlight how SWS impacts Black women's relationship satisfaction. Addressing the structural and interpersonal dynamics of SWS could facilitate safe relational spaces that foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships for Black women.
