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
objectiveIntersectional and structural intervention approaches are critical to addressing health inequities experienced by transgender and gender diverse (trans) populations. In this commentary, we reflect on the implementation of a community-led, medical-legal partnership project designed to address barriers to legal gender affirmation and improve health outcomes for trans women of color with criminal records in Detroit.
methodWe initiated a partnership between a community health center and legal advocacy organization to address the health-harming legal needs of five trans women of color with criminal records via attorney support and financial assistance.
resultsWe enrolled four participants, and two received legal name changes. Our low success rate was largely because of legal costs that far exceeded our expectations and resources. These costs stemmed from compounding monetary sanctions participants received for low-level vehicular civil infractions.
conclusionsOur implementation of this intervention revealed structural intersectional oppression in action. Monetary sanctions interact with Michigan name change policies requiring court appearances for applicants with criminal records, creating nearly insurmountable barriers to legal gender affirmation for economically vulnerable communities subjected to racism and cissexism. Building intersectional structural competency inclusive of legal literacy via multisectoral collaborations between diverse legal and policy experts, community members, and academic researchers is critical to developing interventions to address structural determinants of trans health.
