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

introductionGendered racism, which emasculates and denigrates the masculinity self-concept and the desirability of Asian American men, has been associated with greater endorsement of suicide ideation. However, no research has examined culturally informed gendered racial factors that could moderate the risk of suicide ideation associated with gendered racism. Based on the potential of affirming gendered racial experiences that can validate and empower Asian American men to resist internalizing the harms of gendered racism, we examined whether affirmative body positive and positive intimacy experiences could moderate the link between gendered racism and suicide ideation.

methodsWe conducted latent moderated structural equation modeling to analyze online convenience data from 876 Asian American men (M

resultsGendered racism was significantly associated with suicide ideation. Affirmative body positive experience was a buffer at low to mean levels of gendered racism but was an exacerbator at mean to high levels of gendered racism. Affirmative positive intimacy experiences were a buffer at low and mean levels of gendered racism but not at high levels of gendered racism.

conclusionImplications include translating these findings into a more nuanced affirmative support system and gendered racial socialization strategies to help Asian American men engage in healthier and flourishing outcomes.
