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

backgroundMarginalization of intersecting racial, sex, and rural identities heightens the vulnerability of African American women in rural South Carolina (SC) during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to psychological distress. Social support, positive coping, and resilience may serve as protective factors, enhancing individuals' ability to cope with stress.

methodsA cross-sectional online survey of 328 African American women (Mean age = 48.03 ± 16.75) in rural SC from January to February 2024 was conducted. Structural equation modeling was used to test direct, indirect, and total effects of social support on PTSD and hopelessness, mediated by resilience and coping. We also examined moderation by age and caretaker status.

resultsAll model fit indices were acceptable (CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.034, SRMR = 0.031, χ

conclusionsFindings highlight the need for strategies tackling structural barriers to mental health equity in rural African American communities while considering individual factors like age and caretaker status, ensuring social support interventions yield positive outcomes.
