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

Many parts of the USA continue to move towards tremendous societal progression of supporting LGBTQ + marriage and family planning. However, there are other areas, including many states within the southern region of the USA, which tend to be less progressive and more resistant towards this subject matter. As of now, information is limited on understanding the experiences and challenges faced by Black LGBTQ + individuals in regard to how they navigate the healthcare system for family planning purposes. Findings from this study highlight Black LGBTQ + individuals and couples' unique experiences of undergoing fear and discomfort with racial and gender bias in their pursuit of expanding their families. Highlighted findings revealed that many experienced challenges with access due to cost of health care, cost with adoption, lack of Black sperm donors, and negative experiences with their provider. It is our belief that highlighting such experiences will provide a direction for how we may work to improve the well-being of Black LGBTQ + individuals, couples, and their families for the future.
