Medical Educators' Perceptions and Experiences of Transgender Curriculum in Barbados.

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: This study explored medical educators' understanding of the term transgender and their attitudes and perspectives regarding (1) health system responsiveness to transgender needs and (2) transgender curriculum in medical education. Methods: The study employed purposive sampling of medical educators responsible for design and delivery of curriculum. Fifteen of 18 eligible educators participated in Zoom focus groups (FG1 Results: Educators were knowledgeable about the term transgender and the physical and psychosocial needs of transgender people. Participants viewed transgender care as a significant emerging health area. However, infrequent personal or clinical contact, coupled with constraints in human and other resources, resulted in the perception that transgender content as a stand-alone component of curriculum is difficult to justify. Participants articulated a need for broad-based diversity content, including disabilities, primarily at the undergraduate level. Educators saw transgender health as relevant for undergraduate-level psychiatry and postgraduate medical specializations. Analysis and discussion framed participant perspectives in the context of stigma, discrimination, and medicolegal and health systems that impede access to health care for transgender people. Conclusion: Participants demonstrated knowledge of transgender and transgender health care needs. Areas for improvements in health care responsiveness were identified, particularly related to structural stigma and discrimination. Although participants expressed interest in including transgender health in the curriculum, this would require pragmatic optimization of teaching resources.
