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

backgroundUrban adolescents of color experience disproportionately high rates of trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. Yet, limited research has examined how protective factors-such as social support, psychological resilience, and psychological sense of community (SOC) or community connectedness-interact to influence these outcomes.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 2002 adolescents (ages 12-18) from two urban high schools in Northeastern New Jersey. Participants completed validated measures assessing trauma (Child Trauma Screen), depression (PHQ-9A), anxiety (GAD-7), alcohol use, social support (MSPSS), sense of community (BSCS-Y), and psychological resilience (BRS). Multiple regression, logistic regression, and moderation analyses were used, controlling for demographic covariates.

resultsHigher social support was significantly associated with lower trauma-related symptom severity, depression, anxiety, and alcohol use (p < .001). Sense of community was negatively related to anxiety (p < .001) but not to trauma or depression. Psychological resilience was positively associated with trauma reactions and distress (p < .001). Social support moderated these relationships, offsetting some of the impact of psychological resilience on trauma, depression, and anxiety, and reducing alcohol use risk at higher support levels.

conclusionFindings highlight the protective influence of social support and suggest that psychological resilience among youth of color may reflect survival-based adaptation rather than the absence of distress. Prevention efforts should strengthen social support and SOC within culturally responsive, trauma-informed school and community frameworks.
