The availability of LGBT-specific mental health and substance abuse treatment in the United States.
Article in Health services research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 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
objectiveTo examine the availability and facility-level predictors of LGBT-specific mental health and substance abuse treatment in the United States. DATA SOURCES/STUDY
setting2016 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services, 2016 National Mental Health Service Survey, and 2015-2016 Gallup Daily tracking survey. STUDY
designLogistic regression models and average marginal effects were used to identify characteristics of facilities that offer LGBT-specific programs. Linear regression models were used to estimate the association between the state-level proportion of LGBT people and the proportion of facilities that offer LGBT-specific programs. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsSecondary data analysis. Cases with missing values for any predictor were excluded. PRINCIPLE
findings12.6 percent of mental health and 17.6 percent of substance abuse facilities reported LGBT-specific programs. Several facility characteristics were statistically associated with the likelihood of mental health and substance abuse facilities providing LGBT-specific programs, including offering outpatient or residential treatment, private ownership, religious affiliation, and payment type. The proportion of LGBT adults living within each state was statistically associated with state-level density of LGBT-specific mental health programs, but not substance abuse programs.
conclusionsFindings suggest limited availability of culturally competent mental health and substance abuse treatment, despite well-documented need.
