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

Little is known about cancer disparities faced by diverse sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations globally, with unique barriers in many low-income and middle-income countries. This Viewpoint examines the intersectional challenges faced by SGM groups across multiple settings in accessing high-quality equitable cancer care. In India, the Hijra population (a legally recognised third gender) experiences compounded discrimination due to stigma and socioeconomic marginalisation. SGM individuals in Kenya and Brazil grapple with interpersonal and institutional discrimination, as well as structural barriers that prevent them from receiving timely cancer treatment. By contrast, Thailand's relative success in engaging communities and implementing inclusive health-care models offers valuable insights into ensuring equitable access to care. Through these global contexts, and cognisant of the diversity of SGM individuals' experiences, we provide multilevel recommendations to increase SGM-inclusive cancer research, foster culturally responsive clinical practices, and advocate for evidence-based policy reforms that decriminalise same-sex relations and promote inclusive health-care access for all SGM populations.
