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

Background: Police experiences, such as harassment or mistreatment by law enforcement forces, can be a significant source of stress and affect the well-being of sexual and gender minorities (SGM). Aim: This study examines the relationship between police experiences and well-being among SGM, using family support as a mediator, explained through the ABC-X model. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study draws data from a cross-sectional online survey. This U.S. based study utilized quota sampling, with 921 participants from SGM identity categories: trans non-binary (30.4%), trans binary (45.6%), and cisgender sexual minority persons (24.0%). Results: The path analysis results showed that the model used in the study fit well for measuring the relationships between variables (CFI= .99, TLI= .99, RMSEA= 0.01, SRMR= 0.01). Moreover, family support as a mediating between police experiences and well-being has a positive effect on well-being and mitigates the negative effects of police experiences ( Conclusion: This study highlights the role of family support as a protective factor for the well-being of SGM, especially if they have had negative police experiences. The positive effect of family support can reduce the negative impact of police experiences on well-being, which underscores the importance of fostering supportive family environments.
