Perioperative Oncology Health Care Providers and Transgender Health: A Single-Institution Survey to Gauge Attitudes, Knowledge, Behaviors, and Education.

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
Purpose: Patients identifying as transgender report that a lack of access to providers with trans-specific medical knowledge represents one of the largest barriers to equitable health care access. Through an institutional survey, we assessed and analyzed the attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and education of perioperative clinical staff when caring for transgender patients with cancer. Methods: A web-based survey was distributed to 1100 perioperative clinical staff at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York City between January 14, 2020, and February 28, 2020, and received 276 responses. The survey instrument consisted of 42 nondemographic questions about attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and education regarding transgender health care and 14 demographic questions. Questions were presented as a mix of Yes/No, free text response, and a 5-point Likert scale. Results: Certain demographic groups (younger, lesbian, gay, or bisexual [LGB], fewer years employment at the institution) held more favorable attitudes toward the transgender population and were more knowledgeable regarding their health needs. Respondents underreported the rates of mental illness and risk factors for cancer like HIV and substance use among the transgender population. A greater proportion of respondents identifying as LGB endorsed witnessing an interaction wherein a colleague exhibited attitudes/beliefs about the transgender population that were barriers to care. Only 23.2% of respondents were ever trained on the health needs of transgender patients. Conclusion: There is a need for institutions to assess the cultural competency of perioperative clinical staff toward transgender health, especially within certain demographics. This survey may inform quality education initiatives to eliminate biases and knowledge gaps.
