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

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) older adults experience greater health disparities compared to non-SGM older adults. The SGM older adult population is growing rapidly. To address this disparity and gain a better understanding of their unique challenges in healthcare relies on accurate data collection. We conducted a secondary data analysis of 2018-2022 electronic health record data for older adults aged ≥50 years, in 1 large academic health system to determine the source, magnitude, and correlates of missing sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data among hospitalized older adults. Among 153 827 older adults discharged from the hospital, SOGI data missingness was 67.6% for sexual orientation and 63.0% for gender identity. SOGI data are underreported, leading to bias findings when studying health disparities. Without complete SOGI data, healthcare systems will not fully understand the unique needs of SGM individuals and develop tailored interventions and programs to reduce health disparities among these populations.
