From the abstract, emphasis mine

"Moreover, although inequality initially seemed to undermine mental health, the publication-bias-corrected association was null"

Maybe this term is reasonable and I'm just not familiar with the field of study, but this sounds suspiciously like "when you ignore all the woke dei nonsense" dressed up in academic language.

Edit: it also points out that economic inequality does cause adverse mental health outcomes but only in low income people so that can be ignored for the conclusion. Honestly I feel like my takeaway is that getting published in Nature doesn't mean what it used to
