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

Introduction: Internal medicine (IM) residents often lack the knowledge, comfort, and competency to care for gender and sexual diverse (GSD) patients, contributing to health disparities. We developed a practical, evidence-based framework providing residents with a systematic, stepwise approach to addressing GSD health needs. Methods: The curriculum was implemented at an urban safety-net hospital for 46 IM residents. Two 2-hour sessions utilized a case-based, small-group, interactive scenario of a transgender woman requiring screening and treatment of sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescription, and gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) initiation. One-page handouts with step-by-step instructions were provided. Surveys evaluated knowledge, attitudes toward the importance of GSD care, and perceptions of confidence in performing specific skills related to GSD care. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare pre- and postsession answers. Results: Residents' perceived confidence in providing GSD sexual health care and prescribing PrEP and GAHT increased after the sessions ( Discussion: This curriculum improved residents' perceptions of the importance of providing GSD care, as well as their knowledge and confidence in clinical skills related to STI screening and treatment, PrEP prescription, and GAHT initiation. This curriculum offers IM residents one of the first systematic frameworks, with immediately useable materials, to address GSD health.
