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

BackgroundBlack and Latinx youth are disproportionately exposed to neighborhood violence and related mental health challenges. Racial-ethnic identity shapes how adolescents perceive, interpret, and cope with stressful environmental conditions, yet its role in these associations remains underexplored.MethodsUsing cross-sectional data from 621 Black and Latinx adolescents (mean age = 15.5 years), we applied structural equation modeling to examine associations of perceived neighborhood violence, racial self-efficacy, ethnic identity exploration, and internalizing symptoms of anxiety.ResultsGreater exposure to neighborhood violence was associated with lower racial self-efficacy (β = -0.22,
