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
Police violence is a well-documented contributor to racial disparities in health, with policing operating as a chronic stressor in Black communities. Emerging evidence links policing with suicide risk among Black adults. The present study builds on this work by examining associations between anticipatory stress of police violence and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB), and explores whether these associations differ by sex using data from a nationally representative survey of 3,015 self-identified US Black adults conducted in 2023. Survey-weighted regression analyses reveal that anticipatory stress of police violence is significantly associated with past-year (OR = 1.32) and lifetime (OR = 1.46) suicidal thoughts, after controlling for other risk factors, including anticipatory stress of interpersonal violence, lifetime gun violence exposure, and relevant demographic characteristics. Sex-stratified analyses show these associations are significant among women but not men, suggesting the importance of intersectional approaches that move beyond Black cisgender men's experiences as the reference case of police harm.
