1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Drawing attention to the complex and multidimensional lives of older Black women, this study examines the extent to which workplace discrimination influences their mental health (i.e., depression and anxiety symptoms). Moreover, we assess whether various sources of social support mitigate or whether relational strains and work-family conflict exacerbate the influence of workplace discrimination on mental health. We draw data from the 2010 and 2012 waves of the Health and Retirement Study to address these queries. Results reveal the recalcitrant psychological effects of workplace discrimination on older Black women: social support from a variety of sources fails to counteract the pernicious influence of workplace discrimination on mental health, particularly anxiety symptoms. Neither relational strains with personal network members (e.g., spouse, children) nor work-family conflict exacerbate the discrimination-mental health association for older Black women workers. However, relational strain in the context of one's marriage was associated with higher depression and anxiety symptoms. Theoretical and workplace policy implications are discussed.
