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

Background: Resilience-the ability to adapt and recover from chronic stress-is a critical determinant of health, particularly among marginalized populations. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals experience disproportionate levels of psychological distress due to systemic discrimination, trauma, and social exclusion. Objective: To explore how lifestyle medicine, when applied through an equity lens, can serve as a powerful tool to promote resilience and mitigate psychological distress in underserved communities. Methods: This narrative review applies the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of risky substances, to the lived experiences of marginalized populations. It integrates public health literature, minority stress theory, and insights from culturally responsive clinical practice. Results: Structural inequities create barriers to wellness for marginalized individuals, including limited access to healthy foods, safe environments for movement, and affirming care. When adapted with cultural humility, lifestyle medicine interventions can improve emotional well-being, foster identity-affirming behaviors, and strengthen resilience. Conclusion: Equity-centered lifestyle medicine provides a promising, accessible framework to help marginalized populations build resilience and reclaim well-being, offering a preventive strategy to reduce long-term psychological distress.
