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: To explore the perspectives of individuals with self-reported expertise and/or lived experiences regarding aspects of 2SLGBTQIPA+ health that should be included in pre-licensure physical therapy (PT) curricula across Canada, including how, when, and by whom this content should be delivered. Method: We conducted a critical qualitative, cross-sectional study with semi-structured virtual interviews. We analyzed participants' perspectives thematically using the DEPICT method. Results: Thirteen participants across Canada with a variety of gender identities and sexual orientations were interviewed. Participants described how transformative change on 2SLGBTQIPA+ issues in PT requires an approach that is based on interrupting heteronormativity and cisnormativity in PT curricula. Participants explained how this could be achieved by (1) emphasizing both historical inequities and present-day considerations for safe and inclusive practice, (2) introducing the content early and integrating it throughout the programme using a variety of large- and small-group sessions, and (3) including 2SLGBTQIPA+ individuals in content delivery and creation. Conclusions: This study brings attention to the need for the PT profession to understand how the pervasive social structures of heteronormativity and cisnormativity shape education and practice, and offer strategies for disrupting complicity with these systems of inequality.
