Cancer in Sexual and Gender Minority Patients: Are We Addressing Their Needs?
Review in Current oncology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
purpose of reviewTo describe the current literature regarding the cancer care of sexual and gender minority patients and to identify significant knowledge gaps that hinder our understanding of the unique needs of sexual and gender minority patients with cancer. RECENT
findingsSexual and gender minorities suffer from cancer-related disparities, including lower rates of cancer screening, higher incidence of certain cancers, and higher cancer mortality rates. Sexual side effects, depression, and social isolation are especially common among sexual minority individuals with cancer. While the aforementioned disparities are concerning, the cancer-specific needs of sexual and gender minorities remain understudied. Population-based, prospective studies evaluating cancer-specific risks, mortality, and survivorship issues facing gender and sexual minorities are lacking. There is a paucity of literature guiding the cancer care of sexual and gender minority patients. Areas that require further study include epidemiologic evaluations, cancer screening recommendations, and cancer treatment and survivorship.
