Bisexuality, romantic relationships, and depression: The role of relationship quality.
Article in Social science & medicine (1982), 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
This study provides a population-level assessment of relationship quality among partnered bisexual adults and evaluates whether high-quality romantic relationships are linked to fewer depressive symptoms. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1998-2008; n = 15,701), we estimated linear regression models to compare relationship quality across sexual identity groups and to examine associations between relationship quality and mental health. Results indicate that bisexual adults report significantly lower relationship quality than heterosexual adults but not significantly lower than lesbian or gay adults, after controlling for relationship type and other covariates. Although high-quality romantic relationships are linked to improved mental health for bisexual individuals, this association is weaker compared to heterosexual individuals. Our findings suggest that bisexual adults experience unique relationship-specific and broader societal stressors that challenge the promotion of mental health through romantic involvement.
