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

purposeIdentifying the situational and psychological factors that support well-being in disadvantaged sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) youth is important for guiding interventions and policies. The current work investigated differences in the perceptions of caring relationships reported by SGM and cisgender heterosexual youth in foster care and how these differences related to youth's mental health.

methodsWe analyzed data from 727 ninth- and eleventh-grade youth in foster care who completed the 2016 and 2019 Minnesota Student Survey. We used

resultsSGM youth in foster care perceived people around them as caring about them less than did their cisgender heterosexual peers. Greater perceptions of caring were related to reduced mental health concerns among youth in foster care. Mental health concerns were greater among SGM youth than their cisgender heterosexual counterparts, and these differences existed even when controlling for perceptions of caring.

conclusionSGM foster youth's perception that the people around them cared about them less than their cisgender heterosexual peers may contribute to differences in mental health often observed among these populations, but cannot wholly explain these differences.
