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

backgroundTwo-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, or other sexual orientations and gender identities (2SLGBTQI+) youth face multiple social and structural disparities and barriers that contribute to a sense of mistrust in the provision of healthcare services, including oral health. Cannabis use is also high among 2SLGBTQI+ individuals; however, unknowns exist regarding recreational use and its impact on oral health. Our research aims to explore the intersectionality of 2SLGBTQI+ youth, oral health, and cannabis consumption.

methodsThis qualitative study, guided by community-based participatory research and interpretative phenomenological approaches, will recruit consenting 2SLGBTQI+ youth, aged 19 and older, accessing services at Youth Opportunities Unlimited in London, Canada. Approximately 25 to 30 participants will be recruited to complete a one-on-one in-depth interview or focus group to collect information on their perception about the relationships between cannabis use and oral health. DISCUSSION: Recognizing the self-perceived pathways through which cannabis impacts oral health will prompt the development of theories, raise awareness, and support advocacy efforts for and by 2SLGBTQI+ youth, while also providing valuable insights for the community and healthcare providers at large.
