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
Bias toward historically marginalized patients affects patient-provider interactions and can lead to lower quality of care and poor health outcomes for patients who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Gender Diverse (LGBTQ+). We gathered experiences with biased healthcare interactions and suggested solutions from 25 BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people. Through qualitative thematic analysis of interviews, we identified ten themes. Eight themes reflect the experience of bias: Transactional Care, Power Inequity, Communication Casualties, Bias-Embedded Medicine, System-level problems, Bigotry in Disguise, Fight or Flight, and The Aftermath. The remaining two themes reflect strategies for improving those experiences: Solutions and Good Experiences. Characterizing these themes and their interconnections is crucial to design effective informatics solutions that can address biases operating in clinical interactions with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ patients, improve the quality of patient-provider interactions, and ultimately promote health equity.
