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

This Study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN's) practicing in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, regarding the transgender population. 196 RDN's from the Commission of Dietetics Registration registry located in the tri-state area responded to an anonymous online survey. The survey used the Transgender Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs (T-KAB) Scale and nine true/false clinically-focused questions. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were used to identify trends and associations in RDN's knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding the transgender population. Political views (p < 0.0001), years practicing (p = 0.0454), and religious commitment (p = 0.0429) were negatively associated, and health disparities awareness (p < 0.0002) was positively associated, with total T-KAB Score. RDN's surveyed had positive attitudes and beliefs, but a low level of knowledge. Future research should focus on training and education of RDN's, and use of the T-KAB scale to evaluate pre/post-education modules regarding nutrition care for transgender patients.
