Strengthening cancer care for the LGBTQIA+ population in Nepal: A narrative review to set priorities for equitable oncology services.
Review in Dialogues in health, 2025. 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
Cancer epidemiology and care services in low- and middle-income countries, has traditionally overlooked the specific needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual community, including people who identify with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations (LGBTQIA+). This narrative review examines the intersection of LGBTQIA+ individual's health and oncology cases in Nepal, highlighting disparities in cancer risk factors, delayed diagnosis, limited screening access and the compounding effects of social stigma and discrimination. Drawing from regional data and global insights, we identify systemic barriersincluding heteronormative healthcare environments, lack of provider training in LGBTQIA+-inclusive oncology, and policy gaps that hinder equitable cancer care access. We also outline targeted strategies to improve cancer outcomes for LGBTQIA+ individuals, including stakeholder engagement, culturally competent oncology training for healthcare providers and students, and community-led education and advocacy. This review underscores the urgent need to integrate LGBTQIA+-specific priorities into Nepal's national cancer strategies to advance equity in oncology care delivery.
