Examining relationships between multifactorial health beliefs and beliefs about the social implications of genetics.
Article in Journal of health psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We examined how multifactorial (MF) beliefs about health relate to beliefs regarding the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics research including genetic discrimination, determinism, and essentialism, and to demographic characteristics. We conducted an online, cross-sectional survey of 351 sociodemographically diverse U.S. adults (59% female, 56% having vocational-technical training or less education, 31% with low subjective socioeconomic status, 79% with self-reported good to excellent health, 62% white, 21% Black/African American, 18% Asian or Indigenous, 26% Hispanic, and 33% younger than 35 years). Linear regressions indicated that stronger MF beliefs were associated with lower endorsement of genetic discrimination by health insurance companies and employers, and with lower endorsement of polygenism, a subscale of race-based genetic essentialism. Stronger MF beliefs were associated with stronger beliefs in genetic determinism. Demographic characteristics were unrelated to MF beliefs. The relationships between MF beliefs and genetic discrimination, determinism, and essentialism were more complicated than expected.
