Religious Involvement, Racial/Ethnic Disparities, and Depression: Exploring the Black-white Mental Health Paradox.
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
Previous research has shown that despite higher rates of poverty and race-based discrimination, Black Americans tend to report better mental health outcomes than their non-Hispanic White counterparts. This black-white mental health paradox has been attributed to greater religious involvement and associated health benefits among Black Americans. Data for this study come from a U.S. national sample (n = 1,259) who reported being sick in the past twelve months. Regression analysis indicates that Black American and Hispanic/Latino respondents reported lower levels of depressive symptoms. Frequent attendance at religious services and meetings is associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, but only for Black Americans and Hispanics/Latinos. Interestingly, the public and private dimensions of religion are positively associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms.
