Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. 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
Black pregnant women face heightened psychological risks shaped by systemic racism, yet few screening tools capture the racialized stressors they routinely navigate. This study presents the initial psychometric evaluation of the Prepartum Form for Evaluating Race-Related Psychological Stressors (PP-FERRPS©), a novel, culturally responsive instrument grounded in Black feminist thought. In a sample of pregnant Black women (n = 145), exploratory factor analysis supported a five-factor, 30-item structure with strong internal consistency reliability. Evidence of convergent and concurrent validity emerged through significant correlations with gendered racial microaggressions, discrimination in healthcare, and anxiety symptoms. While associations with a standard depression measure were not statistically significant, findings suggest the PP-FERRPS© captures distinct forms of race-related stress that may predict perinatal anxiety. This tool addresses critical gaps in perinatal mental health assessment and offers a theory-driven resource to support accurate, culturally responsive care for Black birthing populations.
