Characterizing the influence of racism-related stress and pandemic-related changes in social connections on cardiovascular health: Study protocol and theoretical framework.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality among young adults are rising, and disparities between young Black and White women are immense. Health behaviors including physical activity and diet are essential for optimal cardiovascular health. Psychosocial factors, such as racism, perceived stress, and lack of social support, contribute to racial inequities in cardiovascular disease, which were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed study aims to assess the influence of racism-related stress and other social determinants of health, including social connectedness, on quality of life and cardiovascular-related health behaviors.
methodsThis is a concurrent, triangulation, mixed-methods study combining survey data on health behaviors, psychosocial stressors, and social networks with a thematic analysis of focus group data. Participants will be people who self-identify as Black or African American woman, between the ages of 18 and 39, residing in the southeastern United States with at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor. The primary outcome is physical activity and quality of life. DISCUSSION: The results will be informative for developing an action plan for improving cardiovascular health at a network and community-level to mitigate the predicted post-pandemic increase in cardiovascular disease. This study will provide an integrated perspective of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on quality of life and social relationships with implications for cardiovascular health equity.
