"Just Like Any Other Patient": Transgender Stigma among Physicians in Puerto Rico.
Article in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTransgender women (TW) in Puerto Rico (PR) face social stigmatization. Physicians' transgender stigma can have detrimental consequences for TW's health. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to document physicians' knowledge, competencies, and attitudes towards TW in PR and study their associations with stigma towards TW.
methodsWe implemented an exploratory sequential mixed-methods study. We used in-depth interviews (n=30) and self-administered questionnaire (n=255).
resultsQualitative results illustrated lack of recognition of the needs of TW; they also evidenced the impact of stigmatizing attitudes on clinical decisions. Quantitative results showed that more willingness and knowledge to provide health services to TW were negatively associated with stigma. Participants who reported history of training in working with TW presented significantly less stigma than participants who had not received such training.
conclusionIn order to provide stigma-free services for TW in PR, specialized training regarding the particular needs of this population is needed.
