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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesLGBTQ+ older adults have heightened needs for affordable housing, given structural and systemic barriers and inequities across their lives. Little is known about affordable housing models for LGBTQ+ older adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis study presents the first comprehensive review of LGBTQ+ affordable housing to date. It uses an innovative multimethod community-engaged approach that combines Arksey and O'Malley's five-step framework for scoping reviews with community-engaged data to answer the following community-driven research questions: What affordable housing models exist for LGBTQ+ older adults? How do these models address the diverse needs of LGBTQ+ older adults?

resultsData revealed ten affordable housing models for LGBTQ+ older adults: affordable housing developments, naturally occurring retirement communities, cohousing, mobile communities, homesharing, community land trusts, accessory dwelling units, limited equity cooperative housing, restored multifamily and single-family homes, and tiny homes. Affordable housing developments dominated and tended to be overrepresented by white residents. Transgender and lesbian older adults and LGBTQ+ older adults of color often led projects that invoked nontraditional housing models. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: While affordable housing developments for LGBTQ+ older adults are growing, different models may be needed to address the diverse needs of this community. Intersecting experiences of trauma, discrimination, and exclusion may be driving the need and desire among transgender older adults, older lesbians, and LGBTQ+ older adults of color to develop alternative affordable housing models. Understanding the diverse needs of housing for LGBTQ+ older adults will help policymakers, practitioners, and researchers better serve this diverse community.
