1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Data from two studies of transgender women in Los Angeles County that used the same methodology and survey assessment (Study 1: 1998-1999, N = 244; Study 2: 2015-2016, N = 271), compared structural determinants of health, HIV/STI prevalence, HIV risk behaviors, substance use, gender confirmation procedures, and perceived discrimination and harassment/abuse across a 17-year time period. Findings demonstrated that participants in the latter study reported significantly higher access to healthcare insurance and prescription hormones. However, participants in the latter study also reported lower levels of income; and, elevated prevalence of homelessness, HIV and lifetime STIs, receptive condomless anal intercourse with casual partner(s), and reported physical harassment/abuse. Given the timeframe of these results, these findings elucidate specific areas of transgender women's health and risk profiles that improved or worsened across 17 years. While healthcare access has improved, transgender women continue to face significant barriers to good health, indicating the need for increased attention to this population.
