Towards equity & inclusion: a critical examination of genetic Counselling Education on Intersex Healthcare.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIntersex describes a diversity of individuals with variations in sex characteristics (VSC), reflecting underlying differences in reproductive anatomy, hormones, and/or genes and chromosomes. With a shift towards socially-conscious clinical practices, genetic counsellors (GCs) are increasingly needing to provide comprehensive care to individuals with VSC and their families. However, the current quality of training provided to genetic counsellors on intersex health is unclear.
methodsQualitative interviews were conducted between Jan-Feb 2021 with 20 current and graduated students of Canadian GC training programs to assess the quality of GC education on intersex health topics. An agency-based model of VSC health as proposed by Crocetti et al. was used to guide the inductive thematic data analysis.
resultsResults revealed three key themes: limited discussions on psychosocial considerations when caring for intersex individuals, enthusiasm for integrating more intersex training into the curriculum, and personal initiative in ensuring equity and justice in the care of individuals with VSC.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate existing knowledge gaps in the GC curriculum, with a need to increase the profession's overall awareness on intersex issues. GC training programs have an opportunity to meet the desires of students while promoting person-centered and validating healthcare for the intersex community.
