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

Purpose: To evaluate negative and positive health care experiences within the racial-ethnically diverse transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community in the Inland Empire, California. Methods: Three focus groups were conducted with a racial-ethnically diverse sample of 20 TGNC-identified individuals in California's Inland Empire. The rigorous and accelerated data reduction (RADaR) technique was used to systematically analyze the qualitative data and identify salient themes. Results: Key themes included the following: a lack of TGNC cultural competency among providers, interpersonal barriers to health care, perceived systemic barriers to health care, and the effects of improper care on TGNC patients' health. Lack of cultural competency included providers' conflations of gender and sexuality and unawareness of nonbinary gender identities. Interpersonal barriers included patient experiences of being misgendered, refused treatment, and referred to by their deadnames. Perceived systemic barriers included insurance coverage, transportation issues, and a lack of expedient care. The effects of improper care were highlighted by participants seeking alternative and sometimes unsafe forms of care when timely and appropriate care was inaccessible. Conclusion: Participants recommended increasing representation of TGNC perspectives into provider trainings, involving providers in outreach with the TGNC community, and requiring letters of recommendation and certifications for providers to be deemed TGNC culturally competent as means of improving TGNC patient care.
