Am I more stressed because I'm aware of being a woman? The impact of gender identity salience on women's cardiovascular responses to stress.
Trial report in British journal of health psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate how which social identity is salient affects physiological responses to stress in women. Specifically, we examined whether gender identity salience, compared to university student identity salience, would lead to significant differences in cardiovascular responses during a math stress task.
designWe conducted a between-subjects experiment, where participants were randomly assigned to either a gender identity salience condition or a university student identity salience condition.
methodsNinety-six female participants completed the math stress task. Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart rate were measured to assess physiological responses to stress.
resultsWomen in the gender identity condition exhibited significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure responses compared to those in the student identity condition. No significant differences in heart rate were observed between conditions.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that gender identity salience amplifies physiological stress responses in women, providing insights into how group-related processes impact health outcomes. This study highlights the importance of considering identity salience in understanding women's cardiovascular response to stress.
