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
Bicultural stress, or challenges from navigating two cultural contexts, is common among youth from immigrant backgrounds. Despite advances in developmental and cultural stress theories that situate bicultural stress in the social contexts of youth’s everyday lives, much of the extant research relies on cross-sectional designs that are not able to examine how bicultural stress may change over time across sociocultural transitions. This study examined U.S. Latino adolescents’ daily diary-reported bicultural stress on two occasions as they transitioned from high school to college, as well as theoretically informed sociocultural correlates of daily bicultural stress both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Participants were recruited through a university partnership and eligible for this study if they were Latino adolescents in the final year of high school, lived within a large metropolitan area in the U.S. Southwest, and had gained acceptance to the university the following year (N = 206; Mage = 18.10 years, SD = 0.41; 65.4% female identifying; 84.9% Mexican origin; 68.8% first-generation college). Daily diaries were collected across seven days on two occasions – before and after college transition. Results from latent difference score modeling indicated that daily bicultural stress levels and day-to-day stress variability decreased from high school to college, on average. Longitudinal changes in daily bicultural stress varied across social position and context factors (e.g., gender, immigrant generation, first-generation college status). This highlights variability in the extent to which daily bicultural stress changes over time as Latino adolescents navigate a prominent sociocultural transition. The results contribute to better understanding adolescent stress processes from a cultural perspective and offer practitioners and policymakers insights into the diversity of experiences among youth who navigate bicultural stress.
