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

objectivesConduct a systematic review designed to determine needs and experiences of LGBTQ adolescents in the pediatric primary care setting and to the ability of primary care practitioners to provide the most inclusive care to LGBTQ adolescents.

methodsPubMed, CINAHL, and Embase searches using the following keywords: LGBTQ, Adolescents, Pediatrics, Sexual-Minority, Gender-Identity, and primary care, to identify peer-reviewed publications from 1998 to 2017 that focused on stigma in the healthcare setting related to LGBTQ youth and the knowledge of healthcare providers on enhancing care for their sexual and gender minority patients. Article inclusion criteria include: primary research studies conducted in a pediatric primary care describing LGBTQ patients, pediatric patients as described by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and written in the English language. Articles were excluded if they used inaccurate definitions for LGBTQ identity, inappropriate patient ages outside of those defined by the AAP, and studies not in a pediatric primary care setting.

resultsFour articles were identified for the review. Of the included articles, the majority of LGBTQ adolescents experience stigma in the healthcare setting. A limited number of physicians providing care to LGBTQ adolescents felt equipped to care for their sexual-minority patients due to lack of education and resources.

conclusionsThe education of physicians should include a more detailed approach to providing care to the LGBTQ population, particularly to those training to become pediatricians. A standard guide to treating LGBTQ adolescents could eliminate stigma in the healthcare setting.
