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

Social anxiety is a common, but under-researched topic in the LGBTQIA+ community. We conducted a scoping review of studies between January 2014 and April 2024 that included LGBTQIA+ samples with social anxiety scales evaluating scales for outdated language. The search produced 1155 results out of which 17 articles fit the inclusion criteria. The results suggest that 47 % of the measures include items that reinforce heteronormative or cisnormative stereotypes and 29.4 % of studies included scales inappropriate for the population under investigation. Therefore, the wordings of certain items need to be adapted to fit the investigated population and a re-examination of the psychometric properties of the revised scales is needed.
