Investigating new opportunities to combat stigma in healthcare through a "universal" approach: findings from a longitudinal study of healthcare workers in Mombasa, Kenya.

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
Stigma plays a significant role in health and healthcare. To date, anti-stigma efforts have primarily focused on specific individual domains (e.g., mental health, HIV), resulting in fragmented efforts to address many different "stigmas." Theorists now advocate for shifting toward a universal framework to understand and respond to stigma. To empirically test the potential utility of stigma as a universal concept, we analyzed data from 453 healthcare workers participating in a prospective cohort in Mombasa, Kenya. Across four waves comprising 925 points of data (June 2023-December 2024), we found strong correlations between all stigma domains. For example, stigma toward abortion was positively correlated with stigma toward mental health and vice versa (
