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

There is substantial evidence that positive intergroup contact can reduce prejudice. Most everyday interactions, however, are not deliberately structured to be positive, and individuals do not always engage in intergroup contact even when there is opportunity. The present research adopts a qualitative approach to understand how youth negotiate everyday contact with outgroup friends and acquaintances in the ethnically diverse city of Bradford, England. We explore how youth intergroup interactions manifest in everyday life, how urban spaces facilitate or inhibit them, and the psychological processes involved. A total of 33 youth aged 16-18 (16 Asian, 14 White, 1 Black, 1 Arab, 1 mixed race) took part in a photography project and focus group sessions, and nine of those youth (4 Asian, 3 White, 1 Black, 1 Arab) took part in follow-up walking interviews. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings demonstrated the habitual nature of everyday intergroup contact and the complex negotiations youth engage in to socialise with outgroup friends. They also highlight how space perceptions influence the maintenance of cross-ethnic friendships and are shaped by past experiences and memories. Our research has implications for understanding everyday unstructured interactions and the spatial and temporal factors that influence youth intergroup contact.
