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
backgroundThis study examined whether religious coping modified the longitudinal associations between lifetime discrimination and subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk among Black individuals, and if these effects differed by sex.
methodsData were collected from 753 Black adult participants (44.5% men; mean age=49.3 years) in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span study. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was measured using ultrasonography at baseline (Wave 1: 2004-2009) and a subsequent follow-up visit (Wave 4: 2013-2017). Abnormal CIMT was defined as ≥1.0 mm of plaque buildup. Religious coping, racial discrimination, and burden of lifetime discrimination were self-reported at baseline.
resultsMixed-effects multivariable logistic regression analyses estimated the longitudinal associations between a 3-way interaction term (discrimination, religious coping, and sex) and abnormal CIMT in models adjusted for age and socioeconomic status. For Black men, those who engaged in religious coping the least had higher odds of abnormal CIMT for both racial (OR=1.22, 95% CI [1.02-1.48],
conclusionsThe effects of discrimination on abnormal CIMT lessened as religious coping increased for Black men. Future research is needed to disentangle how aspects of religious coping might yield benefits linked with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk for this group and identify alternative psychosocial resources effective in mitigating discrimination effects on health for Black women.
