Health Disparities Among Sexual Gender Minority Women in the United States: A Population-Based Study.
Article in Journal of community health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
There is a paucity of population-based research to identify health disparities experienced by sexual gender minority (SGM) women. The purpose of this study was to use a population-based data set to understand disparities in access to healthcare, preventive care, and health risk behaviors of lesbian and bisexual women compared to their straight counterparts and to each other. This was a cross-sectional study using the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. SPSS with complex samples was used to calculate weighted descriptive statistics. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds and adjusted odds ratios. 9016 women were included in the analyses. Women who identified as lesbian were more likely to be from a minority group. Bisexual women were more likely to be in the younger age groups and were less likely to be college graduates or report a higher income. Lesbian and bisexual women were more likely to report depression, smoking, and heavy/binge drinking compared to straight women. They were also less likely to have received a pap test. Compare to lesbian women, bisexual women were more likely to report depression and poorer health. SGM women are at greater risk of depression and risky coping behaviors such as smoking and heavy/binge drinking. Within the SGM subgroup, bisexual women have a higher risk for depression and worse general health. Health promotion programs and interventions must be tailored to account for the unique stressors SGM women encounter and associated negative health outcomes.
