Article in Delaware journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sexual health is a foundational aspect of health and wellbeing, yet many healthcare and mental health providers avoid conversations about sex with their patients. This article explores how inadequate training and systemic discomfort around sexuality lead to missed diagnoses, invalidation, and harm-especially for LGBTQIA+ individuals and other sexually marginalized communities. Drawing from clinical experience and current research, the author outlines how silence around sexual concerns can deepen shame, perpetuate inequities, and drive patients away from care. This article offers practical, affirming strategies for initiating these essential conversations and encourages clinicians to reflect on their own values, biases, and knowledge gaps. This work calls on all healthcare professionals to normalize discussions of sexuality as routine, respectful, and integral to care-not peripheral.
