The interaction of sexual orientation and provider-patient communication on sexual and reproductive health in a sample of U.S. women of diverse sexual orientations.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveOur goal was to examine associations among provider-patient communication, past-year contraceptive use and lifetime sexually transmitted infection.
methodsData were analyzed cross-sectionally from 22,554 women in the Growing Up Today Study and Nurses' Health Study 3 between the follow-up period of 1996-2020. We used multivariable Poisson regression models adjusted for race/ethnicity, age in years, study cohort, and region of residence to obtain risk ratio (RR) associations and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsProvider-patient communication was associated with higher likelihood of using all methods of past-year contraceptive use (RRs ranging from 1.11 to 1.63) and lifetime STI diagnosis (RRs ranging from 1.18 to 1.96). Completely heterosexual women with no same-sex partners (referent) were 13% more likely than lesbians and 4% less likely than other groups to report a provider ever discussed their SRH. Significant interactions emerged between sexual minority status and provider-patient communication. Sexual minority women whose providers discussed their SRH were less likely to report contraceptive non-use in the past year (p < .0001).
conclusionProvider-patient communication may benefit sexual minority women's contraceptive practices and engagement with STI testing. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Differences in provider-patient SRH discussion by sexual orientation indicate lesbian women are not receiving the same attention in clinical encounters.
