1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Health degree programs provide opportunities to reduce disparities in care for LGBTQ patients by exposing students to LGBTQ communities and current health issues. However, LGBTQ content is mostly absent from medical school curricula. This mixed method assessment study, conducted during the 2018 to 2019 academic year, examined the feasibility of implementing a medical student journal club focused specifically on LGBTQ health issues as a complementary training tool to support efforts to create an inclusive educational environment. Compared to the pre-test, mean response scores increased for most of the parameters including familiarity with LGBTQ healthcare issues, confidence in the ability to identify harmful medical provider practices, and reading and assessing scientific literature. Qualitative data showed increased confidence, comfort and knowledge about LGBTQ health barriers. This study offers a framework for using a journal club to provide an effective platform for enhancing students' LGBTQ cultural humility and research literacy.
