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

objectivesMultiracial (alternatively, mixed-race or biracial) college students report higher rates of alcohol/substance use than their monoracial peers, yet factors associated with this disparity remain understudied. Guided by minority stress and tension-reduction frameworks, associations of general and Multiracial discrimination experiences with psychological distress and substance use were investigated.

methodsCross-sectional data obtained from a convenience sample of 193 Multiracial college students (

resultsWithout psychological distress in the model, Multiracial-specific (but not general) discrimination experiences were positively associated with substance use (

conclusionsThe novel findings suggest roles of Multiracial-specific discrimination by peers and family members and psychological distress in heightened substance use among Multiracial college students. Leveraging prospective methodologies is critical to determine temporal order.
