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

Cancer research focusing on sexual and gender minority populations is limited by lack of sexual orientation and gender identity data in medical records and cancer registries. We implemented multimethod sexual orientation and gender identity data collection in 2 pilot clinics at a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, with first-line collection by telephone intake schedulers and second-line via physical form in clinics. Changes in data completion were compared with 2 control clinics, and staff shared intervention experiences. In pilot clinics, completion rates statistically significantly increased for gender identity (from 55.6% to 65.1%), sex assigned at birth (from 58.4% to 63.2%), sexual orientation (from 45.1% to 53.7%), and all 3 (from 37.8% to 44.7%) when compared with control clinics (P < .05). Staff reported a mix of patient reactions to sexual orientation and gender identity data collection. Sexual orientation and gender identity data collection can be enhanced in the cancer care setting with multimethod approaches.
