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

Background: Recent studies have shown deficiencies in resident knowledge concerning transgender healthcare. However, there has not been an updated survey examining transgender healthcare training by medical residency directors. We assessed whether accredited residency programs in the United States and Canada were providing education on the healthcare needs of transgender patients. Methods: We performed an exploratory descriptive survey study in 2022 of residency programs in the United States and Canada to assess residency education on transgender health using program directors listed in the website directory of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Results: Out of 1680 residency program directors, 160 programs responded (response rate, 10%). Among the residency programs, education in transgender health was taught periodically throughout the curriculum (52.5%), in discrete modules (34.4%), or not taught at all (10.6%). However, 60% of residency program directors who responded reported that their program lacked any clinical rotation in which residents directly work with transgender patients. The most common areas of transgender care omitted from residency education on transgender health were barriers associated with chronic illness and mental health. Conclusion: There remains a need for robust transgender medical training in residency programs through clinical rotations on transgender health.
