Intersecting identities, different struggles: The effects of demographics on experiences of discrimination and mental health outcomes among college students in Texas.

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
Diversity among college students has increased and, yet experiences of discrimination persist and predict mental health symptoms. The role of various overlapping demographics in predicting discrimination and mental health is understudied. In this study, we examined how gender,race, Latinx ethnicity, and citizenship status relate to experiences of discrimination and mental health outcomes in N = 1665 college students in Texas. Our results indicated that discrimination was endorsed at higher rates by People of Color, Latinxs, women, and non-citizens. Women and non-citizens endorsed the highest mental health symptoms. Multivariate analyses demonstrated greatest vulnerability for discrimination among Latinx women. Regarding mental health, experiences of discrimination associated with stigmatization were associated with deleterious mental health outcomes, particularly for Women of Color. Reflecting the growing scholarship on intersectionality, race and Latinx ethnicity acted with gender to compound risk for discrimination and the effect of discrimination on mental health.
