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
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screeners have limited experience of interacting with trans people. The application of communication platforms between them to empower HIV screeners' trans-related cultural competence remains unknown. Objective: This study aims to qualitatively explore the follow-up interviews of HIV screeners regarding their opinions on the feasibility of an online platform group discussion and web page to enhance communication between them and trans people and to explore their perspectives on how these components enhanced their promotion of cultural competence. Methods: This study was conducted between October 2020 and June 2021. Purposive and snowball sampling were applied to recruit 6 trans persons and 11 HIV screeners. Six online platform group discussions were held on weekday evenings, each group meeting for 60 min, 360 min in total within 3 months, via a video chat room of Google Meet; this was supplemented by a closed web page. The major results were presented through content analysis of the HIV screeners' follow-up interviews. Results: The HIV screeners identified the facilitators of participating in the communication platforms, which included a reminder message, easy-to-use interface, visible-audible and readable interaction, recalled and reviewable content and group belonging; the barriers included time and space limitation, device restrictions and operation problem. Two categories of trans-related cultural competence - trans awareness and action taken - were revealed, from which five major themes emerged: provoked to ask questions, improved cognition, reflection, trans-sensitive communication and self-enhancement. Conclusion: The results revealed that the communication platforms could facilitate the mutual and vivid discussion between HIV screeners and trans people and empower the trans-related cultural competence of HIV screeners. The highly feasible intervention design of this research can be applied to digital training courses related to gender diversity issues.
