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
objectiveLatine college students at predominantly White institutions face discriminatory stress, increasing their risk for problematic alcohol use. The specific impact of daily discrimination and microaggressions on alcohol use and related consequences, relative to other college stressors (e.g., academics, finances), remains understudied. This study used an intensive daily longitudinal design to examine whether these experiences independently affect alcohol use and related consequences.
methodThe study enrolled 109 Latine student drinkers (
resultsParticipants had an average survey completion rate of 89.1% (∼25 of 28 surveys). Within-person, daily experiences of discrimination and microaggressions were associated with increased alcohol use and consequences. Between-person, these factors predicted alcohol-related consequences but did not significantly affect alcohol use when controlling for college stress, trauma, and demographics.
conclusionsDaily discrimination and microaggressions independently contribute to alcohol use and its consequences for Latine students, beyond other common stressors faced by college students. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive interventions addressing discriminatory stress. Predominantly White institutions should also consider policy changes to better support minoritized students and mitigate the negative effects of discrimination on their well-being.
