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

Collecting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in healthcare settings is essential for addressing the unique health needs and cancer burden of this population. We conducted a qualitative study to assess institutional leadership and staff perspectives on collecting SOGI data, aiming to improve these processes within our academic medical center. In key informant interviews with 17 staff and leaders, we asked about current SOGI data collection practices and facilitators/barriers for implementing systematic data collection. We sought to understand staff experiences with SOGI data collection, comfort and willingness to collect these data, and challenges in broad implementation of SOGI data collection. Findings indicate need for: training on SOGI data collection to increase staff confidence in engaging with patients; clear workflows for when, how, and by whom SOGI data should be collected; and implementation of flexible approaches to data collection, while balancing patient privacy.
