Gender differences in the association between discrimination, mental health, and peer support among ethnic/racial minority adolescents.
Article in Discover mental health, 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
Peers play a significant role in adolescent development and mental health. However, research has found mixed findings regarding the role of peer support as a protective factor against discrimination. This study uses longitudinal survey data from Asian, Black, and Latiné adolescents’ (n = 350; Mage = 14.72, SD = 0.54, 69% female, 31% male, 0% non-binary; 41% Asian, 22% Black, and 37% Latiné) across five public high schools to investigate gender differences in longitudinal associations between discrimination and mental health, considering the moderating role of peer support. Longitudinal regression analyses found direct associations between everyday discrimination at T1 with mental health outcomes at T2, where discrimination at T1 predicted higher levels of depression, anxiety, and rumination as well as lower levels of self-esteem one year later, controlling for race/ethnicity, gender, and T1 mental health. Furthermore, a 3-way interaction between everyday discrimination, peer support, and gender predicted self-esteem one year later. For girls, more peer support buffered the negative effect of discrimination on self-esteem. For boys, however, more peer support exacerbated the negative effect of discrimination on self-esteem. These findings highlight important gender differences in the role of peer support in the context of discrimination with implications for peer support interventions.
