Ethical Aspects of Mental Health Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-, Pan-, Asexual, and Transgender People: A Case-based Approach.
Review in The Yale journal of biology and medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The lives of lesbian, gay, bi-, pan-, asexual, and transgender (LGBTA+/LGBT) people are not considered to be standard in society, unlike those of heterosexual cisgender people. This can lead to prejudices against LGBT people and may negatively influence their access to high-quality health care. Medical and mental health care have been characterized by attitudes (psycho-)pathologizing LGBT lives and therefore supported the stigmatization of LGBT people in the service of heteronormativity. Mental health professionals (MHPs) largely have transferred principles guiding counseling and psychotherapy with heterosexual (straight) cisgender persons to treatment of LGBT individuals without considering the specific features of LGBT lives. This is true even if the treatment is not exclusively LGBT-related, but can address LGBT-unrelated issues. To counteract this, the present paper aims to provide an insight into ethically sound mental health care for LGBT people. By applying the principles of biomedical ethics, we have analyzed how LGBT individuals can be discriminated against in mental health care and what MHPs may need to offer LGBT-sensitive high-quality mental health care. We argue that MHPs need LGBT-related expertise as well as LGBT-related sensitivity. MHPs should acquire specialist knowledge for the diverse lives and the challenges of LGBT people. We encourage MHPs to develop an understanding of how their own implicit attitudes towards LGBT people can affect treatment. However, the demand for special training should not be mistaken as a demand for a specific type of mental health care. The principles of general psychotherapy are equally the basis of psychotherapy with LGBT people.
