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

Telomere length is an important indicator of aging and related diseases. Identifying risk and protective factors for telomere shortening early in life among youth from Mexican immigrant families is critical for reducing ethnic health disparities. This study investigates how familial environmental factors (i.e., culture-general and culture-specific parenting and parentification experiences) shape individual differences in the association between depressive symptoms and telomere length. Adolescents from immigrant families (n = 325; M
