Vigilance and Well-Being in Daily Life: An Examination of Race Differences.
Article in Race and social problems, 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
The anticipation of discrimination, referred to as vigilance, may be an important driver of racial health inequities in cardiovascular disease and mortality. The current study examined how vigilance is experienced in daily life and its implications for daily cardiovascular health and emotional well-being. Participants included 80 Black and 89 White adults ages 33 to 91, from the Detroit tri-county metropolitan area, who completed ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) via mobile devices regarding experiences of vigilance and emotional well-being every 3 hs, and wore a heart monitor for 4 consecutive days. Data were collected from 2018 to 2020. Multilevel models revealed that Black individuals reported more frequent experiences of vigilance than White individuals, and that vigilance was associated with poorer emotional well-being (higher negative affect; lower positive affect) and higher heart rate in the 3-h periods in which respondents reported vigilance. Race-stratified models demonstrated that vigilance was associated with greater negative affect among Black and White individuals, and lower positive affect among the White individuals only. Vigilance was associated with higher heart rate variability for Black individuals only, indicating greater physiological coping. This adaptation among Black individuals may arise from more frequent experiences of vigilance in daily life and may serve to buffer physiological and emotional effects of daily vigilance. This study demonstrates how vigilance may "get under the skin", among Black and White individuals, which could pose effects on cardiovascular functioning over the long term.
