Social exclusion and psychopathology in LGBTQ+ communities: a neuropsychosocial review.
Review in Frontiers in sociology, 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
LGBTQ+ individuals are disproportionately affected by depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, primarily due to persistent social exclusion, prejudice, and systemic discrimination rather than any inherent psychopathology. This review synthesizes contemporary theoretical frameworks, including the Minority Stress Model, the Psychological Mediation Framework, and the Rejection Sensitivity Model, to examine the internalization of systemic marginalization and its manifestation as psychological distress. Significant mediators, such as internalized stigma, emotional dysregulation, and rejection sensitivity, are investigated alongside structural determinants, such as familial rejection and intersectional oppression. Contemporary insights from social psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience were used in this study. Neurobiological data indicate that chronic minority stress modifies the limbic-prefrontal circuitry, disrupts the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and increases allostatic load. The implications for clinical practice and public health were analyzed, emphasizing the importance of community-based resilience initiatives, inclusive policy reforms, and LGBTQ+-affirmative therapy. The article concludes by outlining the theoretical constraints and proposing future avenues for participatory and multidisciplinary studies.
