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

This exploratory qualitative study sought to better understand the experiences of Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (2SLGBTQ+) disabled people when learning about sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We conducted 31 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with adults labeled/with developmental and intellectual disabilities in Alberta, Canada. Findings showed a significant lack of comprehensive sex education available to 2SLGBTQ+ disabled people. Sexual and gender identities were rarely discussed in formal school-based education settings and most parents and caregivers did not feel comfortable addressing these topics either. As a result, many participants had to do their own research and use other sources for information and advice. Participants then provided recommendations in terms of what they wish they had learned in sex education as well as potentially effective ways of delivering that content to disabled people.
