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

objectivesEvidence has shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer (LGBQ) and transgender patients (LGBTQ) experience disparities in health care delivery and clinical outcomes. As the predominant U.S. inpatient provider workforce, this paper's objective was to understand hospitalists' comfort with LGBTQ health.

methodsA 58-question anonymous online survey was distributed in 2019 to practicing hospitalists through the Society of Hospital Medicine regarding their experiences in caring for hospitalized LGBTQ patients.

resultsTwo hundred and eighteen hospitalist providers completed the entire survey. While hospitalists reported high levels of comfort in caring for these populations (LGBQ: 90.6%, Transgender: 77.8%), they acknowledged feeling less confident in their clinical competence (LGBQ: 71.6%, Transgender: 51.2%). Hospitalist providers who were themselves LGBQ reported more comfort with most aspects of LGBQ patient clinical care than heterosexual respondents (

conclusionsHospitalist clinicians are regularly exposed to LGBTQ patients yet their comfort and expertise in caring for this vulnerable population is highly variable. Educational interventions that include reflective practice may serve to optimize hospitalists' ability to more confidently and competently serve LGBTQ patients.
