Current Capacity and Future Implementation of Mental Health Services in U.S. LGBTQ Community Centers.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveSince the beginning of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights movement, LGBTQ community centers have been on the front lines of mental health care for sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) across the United States. However, little is known about what types of mental health services LGBTQ community centers currently offer and their anticipated future needs, including training in and delivery of evidence-based practice.
methodsSixty executive directors and chief executive officers of LGBTQ community centers across the United States completed a survey regarding their centers' current treatment capacity, format, and type as well as perceived future needs. Survey items were supplemented with qualitative questions about perceived barriers to and facilitators of strengthening the capacity of mental health services.
resultsCenter directors perceived a high need for mental health care in their communities and strove to meet that need despite constrained resources. About half of the centers (52%) reported having fewer than five mental health staff; still, most reported providing support groups (98%) and individual psychotherapy (85%). Most centers (88%) reported providing general evidence-based care, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (62%), and all reported high support for their staff to receive training in more specific types of evidence-based, LGBTQ-affirmative care.
conclusionsLGBTQ community centers continue to play an important role in supporting the mental health of SGMs. The centers also offer a significant opportunity to lead the way in addressing the substantial unmet mental health needs still facing this population by implementing evidence-based, LGBTQ-affirmative practice through efficient and cost-effective service delivery.
