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

The pervasiveness of racism and its impacts on mental health continues to complicate the lives of Black women students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Emerging studies also reveal the prevalence of increasing anxiety among Black women. Stress responses culminate in increased mental (e.g., worry), emotional (e.g., shame) and physiological effects (e.g., cortisol reactivity). The biopsychosocial model of racism was used to examine the relationship between anticipatory race-related stress and general worry among 206 Black women at a HBCU in the southern region of the U.S. Internal psychological factors (secondary appraisal, mastery, resilience and self-esteem) were evaluated to determine their effects on anticipatory race-related stress and general worry. Findings indicate a positive relationship between anticipatory race-related stress and general worry. Further, mastery and self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between anticipatory race-related stress and general worry. That is, the association between anticipatory race-related stress was not as profound when mastery and self-esteem levels were high. The results highlight the importance of practitioners recognizing the value of internal psychological resources when supporting Black women as they navigate and heal from anticipatory race-related stress and general worry, thereby reducing potential anxiety.
