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
introductionPositive racial and ethnic identity formation is associated with psychological well-being, especially for Black adolescents. Parental socialization and school-related factors are key influences that have been studied, but less is known about other factors in an adolescent's social ecology, such as out-of-school activities. The goal of the present study was to better understand the relation between out-of-school activity (i.e., after-school hours and summer months) participation and racial and ethnic identity among Black adolescents.
methodsParticipants included Black identifying adolescents, ages 14-19 (N = 181; M age = 16.30, SD = 1.38; 69% female) recruited from the Chicagoland area of the United States. Participants completed questionnaires about out-of-school activity participation and racial and ethnic identity formation at a single timepoint. Latent class analysis was used to identify groups based on reported activity participation. Then, reported racial and ethnic identity was examined by latent class.
resultsMore out-of-school participation overall (i.e., total, types, and intensity) and school-based activity participation were significantly associated with higher reported racial and ethnic identity formation. Latent class analysis of out-of-school participation revealed that classes characterized by a higher breadth of activities reported high racial and ethnic identity, while the class characterized by low participation reported significantly lower racial and ethnic identity.
conclusionThese findings suggest that out-of-school activity participation is associated with racial and ethnic identity formation among Black adolescents and the mechanisms that support this dynamic exchange warrant further investigation. As racial and ethnic identity formation is associated with well-being, these findings have strengths-based clinical, programmatic, and community implications.
