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

Socio-ecological contexts shape trauma and recovery after sexual abuse, but little is known about these contexts, particularly for racial and ethnic minority families. We aimed to describe contextual stressors for Black and Latino families after child sexual abuse. We interviewed 30 Black and Latino, English and Spanish-speaking caregivers of children who were sexually abused. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Caregivers (87% mothers) reported two sociocultural stressors: (1) beliefs about sexual abuse (patriarchy and stigma) and (2) beliefs about help-seeking (trust in family advice and mistrust of mental health care). Caregivers reported one main systems stressor: sexual abuse evaluation, investigation, and legal processes. They described how experiences with multidisciplinary systems can lead to child re-traumatization, caregiver blame and powerlessness, and family and community identity-based stress. Our findings highlight areas of intervention to strengthen and uplift communities, improve child protection systems, and promote child and family well-being after sexual abuse.
