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

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and other diverse individuals (LGBTQIA+) people face lower healthcare utilization rates due to discrimination, poor experiences in healthcare, and barriers to accessing care. There is an increasing need to improve care and reduce health care disparities for the LGBTQIA+ population. The medical community can begin by educating themselves on LGBTQIA+ terminology, using inclusive language and developing cultural competence in clinical settings. In order to achieve this, it is first important to understand that sex and gender are distinct and that both sex and gender exist on continuums. This article will build on this understanding by introducing basic and widely accepted terminology that will provide a foundation for providing care to LGBTQIA+ populations. By thoughtfully incorporating this knowledge into our research and clinical practice, the radiology community will enhance the healthcare experiences of all patients.
