Minority stress and relationship satisfaction among bi+ individuals: The roles of partner gender and sexual orientation.

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
Bi+ individuals face unique stressors such as anti-bisexual discrimination and internalized binegativity. Minority stress is associated with relationship dissatisfaction among sexual minority individuals, but this has rarely been studied among bi+ individuals, a population that experiences unique stressors related to relationships (e.g., assumptions of promiscuity and unfaithfulness). As such, the current study examined the associations between minority stressors and relationship satisfaction among bi+ individuals and potential differences in these experiences based on gender composition (same-gender, different-gender, at least one nonbinary individual) and partner sexual orientation (bi+, lesbian/gay, heterosexual). The sample included 358 bi+ adults in relationships who completed an online survey. Partial Pearson's correlations and one-way ANCOVAs were conducted, controlling for relationship length given its association with relationship satisfaction. Internalized and anticipated binegativity were negatively associated with relationship satisfaction, whereas outness was positively associated with relationship satisfaction. Anti-bisexual discrimination was not significantly associated with relationship satisfaction. Participants in relationships with bi+ partners reported lower anticipated binegativity than those in relationships with lesbian/gay or heterosexual partners and lower internalized binegativity than those with lesbian/gay partners. Those in relationships that included at least one nonbinary individual reported more anti-bisexual discrimination from heterosexual people than those in different-gender relationships. Internalized and anticipated binegativity may be risk factors for relationship dissatisfaction among bi+ individuals, whereas outness may promote satisfaction. Our findings establish a foundation for understanding risk and protective factors related to relationship dissatisfaction in this population.
