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.

Recent literature suggests that vicarious racism is linked to adverse psychological health outcomes. However, our understanding of protective and risk factors in this context remains limited.

We hypothesized that higher social media use integration would predict greater anxiety and depression, with vicarious racism accounting for these associations, and that individual differences would moderate these relationships. The sample consisted of 244 Black adults (M
