A longitudinal analysis of the association between changes in sexual identity and cardiovascular disease risks.
Article in Annals of LGBTQ public and population health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Few studies have compared cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in sexual minority and heterosexual adults. It remains unclear whether changes in sexual identity over time are associated with increased CVD risk. The purposes of this longitudinal study were to: 1) compare sex differences in CVD risk factors across sexual identity subgroups, 2) examine CVD risk factors based on changes in sexual identity, and 3) to examine sex-stratified variations in CVD risk factors. Analyses of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study data assessed the longitudinal association of changes in sexual identity with self-reported CVD risk factors (alcohol misuse, cigarette smoking, sedentary behavior, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity). Based on changes in sexual identity between baseline/wave 1 and wave 5, 91.7% (n = 15884) of the sample were heterosexual-stable, 1.1% (n = 265) were gay/lesbian-stable, and 0.8% (n = 265) bisexual-stable. Less than two percent (1.5%; n = 376) indicated one heterosexual (sexual majority)-to-sexual minority change, 1.4% (n =299) reported one sexual minority-to-heterosexual change, 0.7% (n= 202), one or more sexual minority-to-sexual minority changes, 1.4% (n = 345) heterosexual-to-sexual minority-to-heterosexual change, and 1.3% (n = 365) indicated two or more changes with no distinct pattern. Among women, two or more changes in sexual identity with no distinct pattern were associated with increased odds of past 30-day alcohol misuse compared to heterosexual-stable women. Associations between changes in sexual identity and alcohol misuse among women suggest the need for greater screening among healthcare providers who work with this population.
