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.
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
A promising approach to buffer the negative mental health effects of racism among BIPOCs and build allies among Whites is ethnic studies (ES). The purpose of this study was to assess (1) whether exposure to ES moderates the relationship between ethnic identity (EI) and mental health among BIPOCs; (2) whether EI buffers the negative mental health effects of internalized racism; and (3) whether exposure to ES or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training among Whites has a negative correlation with White supremacist attitudes and negative attitudes toward racial diversity and equity. The study involved a cross-sectional online survey of individuals 18 years old and above in the USA conducted between January and December 2023. A total of 2423 participants participated in the study, with an average age of 31.2 years. Regression analyses showed that controlling for demographic factors, exposure to ES moderates the positive correlation between EI and mental health among BIPOCs who have experienced racism and that EI mitigates the negative mental health effects of racism. As for Whites, exposure to ES but not DEI was negatively correlated with White supremacist attitudes and negative attitudes toward racial diversity and equity. Findings suggest that exposure to ES can indirectly help buffer the negative mental health effects of internalized racism through its interaction with ethnic identity. Additionally, exposure to ES can help build allies among Whites, given its association with decreased White supremacist attitudes and greater appreciation of racial diversity and equity.
