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

While the United States has seen social and policy-based progress in the past two decades, the divisive political climate in the United States toward LGBTQ+ individuals highlights the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia that continues to harm and marginalize these communities. Within the context of health care, LGBTQ+ individuals face discrimination and mistreatment, further perpetuating a community narrative of mistrust in the health care system at large. Despite well-documented evidence of population-specific health needs and risks, LGBTQ+ individuals report less utilization of primary care than their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. Initial studies of LGBTQ+ individuals' engagement in telehealth interventions have largely focused within the realm of mental and behavioral health. Utilizing tenants and results seen in previous studies conducted regarding LGBTQ+ individual engagement with mental and behavioral telehealth interventions, this article explores the potential of utilizing telehealth as an interventional tool for addressing LGBTQ+ health disparities and reduced engagement within a primary care setting. Taking into consideration cost, geographic diversity, and implementation concerns, telehealth targeted toward LGBTQ+ individuals in a primary care setting could prove to be an effective method for reaching more LGBTQ+ individuals and providing them with population-specific, culturally-competent care.
