Exposure to community violence and biomarkers of allostatic load: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Psychological bulletin, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A large body of research has examined the effects of exposure to community violence on myriad health outcomes. Less is known about the potential impact of exposure to violence on allostatic load. According to allostatic load theory, chronic stressors, such as exposure to violence, may lead to disrupted physiological functioning in multiple systems, ultimately increasing the risk for poor health. As such, a better understanding of whether and how exposure to violence may affect indicators of allostatic load is critical. In the present systematic review, we synthesize evidence from 36 studies examining associations between exposure to violence and at least one of the four primary mediators of allostatic load: cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dehydroepiandrosterone. We then present the findings from a meta-analysis of 17 studies (
