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

There is substantial research regarding the association between everyday experiences of discrimination and poor mental health outcomes. However, there appear to be variations in this association. Some authors use individual characteristics as moderators of this association with the hope of highlighting the deleterious effect of discrimination and other forms of racism on individuals. These findings may inadvertently be interpreted as placing the onus on the individual to change. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the broader social context might moderate the association between experiences of discrimination and mental health by using structural racism indices at the state level. Our findings suggest that higher levels of structural racism are associated with more poor mental health days in general, and moderate the association between experiences of discrimination and poor mental health days in expected and unexpected ways. The results are discussed with clinical implications in mind.
