Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
While racial disparities in schizophrenia treatment and service utilization are well-documented, little is known about the mechanisms driving these disparities. This study sought to identify mechanisms by which stigma negatively affects outcomes for Black individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. Cross-sectional data from a subsample of 152 Black adults enrolled in the Recovery After Initial Schizophrenia Episode-Early Treatment Program (RAISE-ETP) Study was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between stigma and behavioral health outcomes, specifically psychological wellbeing and mental health recovery. Social support was shown to mitigate this relationship. Findings were consistent with prior research indicating that stigma is a determinant of psychological wellbeing in individuals with mental health conditions and that depression is one pathway by which this effect occurs. However, because these data were cross-sectional, the observed mediation and moderation effects should be interpreted as theoretical rather than causal, pending prospective validation.
