U.S. politics as a reminder of historical losses in American Indian Adults: Implications for political participation.
Article in PloS one, 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
Historical loss (HL) is a contributor to experiences of historical trauma and its negative impacts on American Indians. The relationship between HL, U.S. politics and political participation among American Indians has not been examined. Minority groups can become politically active through perceiving discrimination or injustices against them. Measures of HL contain items related to the discrimination and injustices that American Indians have experienced. While the Historical Loss Scale (HLS) measures the frequency with which American Indians think about HL, it does not measure the degree to which U.S. Politics may act as a reminder of HL. Here, we introduce an adaptation of the HLS: the U.S. Politics as a Loss Reminder Scale (USPLRS), measuring the degree to which U.S. politics may remind American Indian adults of HL, with higher scores reflecting a greater association between U.S. politics and HL. A sample of 877 American Indian adults completed a series of questionnaires including the HLS, USPLRS, and measures of political participation during the November 2020 national election cycle. Results revealed a 3-factor structure of the USPLRS related to losses due to Government Mistreatment, Interpersonal Loss, and Respect. Scores on both the HLS and USPLRS were positively associated with political participation, with the USPLRS exhibiting incremental validity beyond the HLS.
