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

Objective: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations have substantially higher rates of most psychopathologies. Several theoretical models have been proposed attributing the disparities to either a) Method: The present study attempts bridge these two areas of literature by testing if SGM status-a proxy for minority stress-predicts Results: Results supported the use of SGM status as a proxy and the additive, as opposed to interactive, model. After accounting for conventional trauma, SGM status predicted additional variance in PTSD symptoms and diagnosis. Conclusion: Although tentative, these findings suggest that minority stress may be additive to trauma symptomatology in SGM individuals and therefore be an important factor to consider when assessing for and treating PTSD in this population. Future research that directly measures minority stress should be conducted to validate these findings.
