Goal-Striving Stress and Bodily Pain among Working-Age Black and White Americans.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study tests novel research questions regarding Black-White disparities in bodily pain and goal-striving stress (GSS). A largely overlooked chronic stressor, GSS measures the psychosocial strains of blocked opportunity and dashed aspirations. We address our research questions among a socioeconomically diverse sample of Black and White working-age adults from Nashville, Tennessee (2011-2014; n = 1,252). We find that White adults with low socioeconomic status (SES) report the highest levels of GSS and pain, relative to their Black and high-SES White peers. Moreover, GSS predicts higher pain levels only among low-SES White adults. These patterns hold regardless of other sociodemographic characteristics, occupational hazards, chronic illnesses, stressful life events, and experiences with discrimination. Our findings have critical implications for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers concerned with rising rates of pain and opioid abuse among midlife adults in the United States. We discuss these implications and outline several avenues for future research.
