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
Latine sexual minority adults report discrimination related to their minoritized identities (racism, heterosexism) and at the intersection of those identities (racism in the LGBTQ+ community, heterosexism in one's racial/ethnic community). Much research has supported the additive effects of single-identity discrimination (racism and heterosexism) on mental health problems; however, less research has examined the role of intersectional discrimination in physical health symptoms and how psychological distress may account for that association. The current study examined the associations between intersectional discrimination with physical symptom severity and tested psychological distress as a potential underlying mechanism. Using cross-sectional data from 320 Latine sexual minority adults (age range 18-70; M = 30.5, SD = 9.6), a structural equation model estimated the association between two intersectional discrimination variables (i.e., racism in the LGBTQ+ community and heterosexism in one's racial/ethnic community) with physical symptom severity and tested their indirect effects via psychological distress. Results revealed that greater heterosexism in one's racial/ethnic community was associated with higher physical symptom severity; there was a significant indirect effect via psychological distress. Racism in the LGBTQ+ community was not a significant predictor in the model. These results highlight the importance of applying an intersectional framework to measuring stigma and discrimination. Findings also provide initial support for psychological distress as a potential underlying mechanism through which discrimination contributes to poorer physical health among Latine sexual minority adults. These results can inform interventions that aim to promote psychological and physical health among this population by mitigating the detrimental effects of intersectional discrimination.
