Intersecting minority statuses and tryptophan degradation among stimulant-using, sexual minority men living with HIV.
Article in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDisclosure of one's sexual orientation as a sexual-minority (SM) person (i.e., being "out") may affect HIV-related health outcomes. This longitudinal study examined whether race/ethnicity moderated effects of outness on the plasma kynurenine/tryptophan (KT) ratio, a marker of dysregulated serotonin metabolism due to immune activation that predicts clinical HIV progression.
methodsParticipants were African American, Hispanic/Latino, and non-Hispanic White, methamphetamine-using SM men living with HIV (N = 97) who completed self-report scales of outness and SM stress at baseline for a randomized controlled trial of a positive affect intervention. Linear mixed modeling was used to test whether race/ethnicity and experimental condition moderated the association of baseline outness with the KT ratio at baseline, 6, 12, and 15 months controlling for SM stress, sociodemographics, HIV disease markers, and recent stimulant use.
resultsThe interactions of outness by race/ethnicity and outness by experimental condition on the KT ratio were significant. Greater outness predicted a lower KT ratio over time in non-Hispanic White SM men, but not among SM men of color (MOC). Greater outness predicted a lower KT ratio over time for SM men in the control, but not among those in the intervention arm.
conclusionBeing more out may be protective for non-Hispanic White SM men, but not for their SM MOC peers. Outness mattered for participants who did not receive the positive affect intervention. Findings underscore the potentially different contexts and consequences of outness depending on SM men's race/ethnicity and whether they received a positive affect intervention.
