Oncology patients' preferences regarding sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) disclosure and room sharing.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectiveDisproportionate rates of certain cancers exist among sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults. Collecting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) information is important in providing individualized care. This study assessed cancer patients' perceptions regarding SOGI questions, preferred ways to communicate SOGI information to healthcare providers and comfort in sharing room with SGM patients.
methods225 oncology patients completed self-reported surveys. Descriptive and stratified analyses were utilized to analyze patient perceptions regarding SOGI questions and to explore differences by demographic characteristics.
resultsParticipants reported favorable perceptions regarding gender, M = 4.48 (SD = .81), sex-at-birth, M = 4.51 (SD = .77), pronoun, M = 4.36 (SD = .87), and sexual orientation, M = 4.53 (SD = .74) questions, regardless of demographic characteristics (p > 0.05, for all stratified analyses). Overall, 56.7 % participants reported comfort in sharing room with someone of a different SO, 59.2 % cisgender men reported comfort in sharing room with a transgender man, and 37.8 % cisgender women reported comfort in sharing room with a transgender woman.
conclusionThis study examined oncology patient perceptions regarding SOGI disclosure. The invisibility of SGM populations in the context of cancer care is directly attributable to the lack of SOGI data collection. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Cancer care institutions should gather SOGI data to provide individualized care to all cancer patients.
