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: Stigma and discrimination against transgender people can lead to their segregation. Fighting stigma and discrimination is a crucial strategy to expand access to health services. The goals of the present study were to develop and validate a transgender health care humanization scale (THcH scale) to evaluate the perception of humanization in health care for transgender individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 340 health care providers aged ≥18 years. Participants answered a structured questionnaire when attending HIV/AIDS scientific meetings or at their place of work. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, using a polychoric matrix and robust diagonally weighted least squares extraction method. The number of retained factors was defined through the parallel analysis technique, with random permutation of the observed data and the use of Robust Promin rotation. Results: The interpretability of correlation matrix items was suggested by the Bartlett's sphericity tests (1633.7, Conclusion: The THcH scale showed good psychometric properties. This self-report questionnaire, which can be completed in 5 min, may be useful in scientific research and could guide health care providers in expansion of a Health Humanization Policy and in deconstructing prejudice against transgender people in health care settings.
