Sex differences in psychological distress and its risk factors among US adult Black and White immigrants, NHIS 2005-2018.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Limited research explores sex differences in psychological distress and its risk factors across minority communities, especially immigrant populations. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of psychological distress and its sociodemographic, biological, behavioral, and clinical risk factors among male and female Black and White immigrants. Drawing from the 2005-2018 National Health Interview Surveys data, a sample of male (n = 21,082) and female (n = 24,984) adult Black and White immigrants (n = 46,066) was analyzed using weighted multivariable logistic regression models. In terms of biological factors, older age (i.e., ≥ 65 vs. 18-25 years) was significantly associated with lower odds of psychological distress for males and females. Being overweight was also significantly associated with lower odds of psychological distress factor for males, while being overweight or obese was significantly associated with higher odds of psychological distress for females. For behavioral factors, alcohol drinking (current and former) and smoking (current and former) were significantly associated with higher likelihood of psychological distress for both groups, but the effect sizes for drinking were higher for males while those for smoking were higher for females. With clinical factors, having one or more chronic diseases was associated with higher odds of experiencing psychological distress, especially for females. More sex-specific considerations should be addressed in mental health research and intervention to meet the needs of male and female immigrants.
