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

Research on discrimination and health has predominantly relied on explicit self-report data for single types of discrimination; use of implicit measures is scant. Our exploratory cross-sectional study investigated associations between psychological distress (Kessler-6 [K6] score) and implicit and explicit measures for 6 types of discrimination: racism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, ageism, and sizeism. The 699 participants were recruited (May 28, 2020 to August 4, 2022) from rosters of 3 Boston, MA, community health centers. Covariate-adjusted linear regression models estimated associations between K6 scores and the discrimination measures. Participants' mean K6 score was 7.47 (SD = 5.15); 17.0% experienced "severe psychological distress" (K6 ≥ 13). Target vs dominant groups experienced higher discrimination for both the implicit and explicit measures (
