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

Gerontology has advanced greatly in recent decades in its attention to the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and additional sexual and gender diverse (LGBTQ+) people. To this end, scholars have argued for a queering of our understanding of the life course and aging futures. Others have called for the queering of gerontology itself. We argue that a vision of queer gerontology-framed in 5 principles-can promote rigorous advancement in our scholarship around aging as well as transforming our approaches to knowledge development and building scholarly communities based on an ethic of care. Grounded in historical waves of LGBTQ+ aging literature and our own experiences in this scholarly area, we present and discuss five principles of queer gerontology, as a means of building guidance for and solidarity in the study of LGBTQ+ aging. We argue that these principles will foster greater diversity and creativity in visions of later life, thereby promoting inclusion and justice for LGBTQ+ older adults, but also for all people as we age.
