Examining the Impact of Patient Demographics on Outreach Efforts for a Student-Run LGBTQIA + Free Clinic.
Article in Journal of community health, 2026. 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
The LGBTQIA + community faces unique health disparities that can lead to severe barriers to care. The Rainbow Clinic is a specialty clinic at the Columbus Free Clinic, a student-run free clinic affiliated with a large academic institution in the Midwest, that provides free primary and specialty care for uninsured and underinsured patients in Columbus, Ohio. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of literature depicting how to best reach these patient populations. This study sought to examine the outreach strategies for patient recruitment to the Rainbow Clinic with a retrospective chart review of past patients (N = 77). 44.2% of respondents discovered the clinic through social media. Age strongly and negatively correlated with appointment frequency (r = -0.665, p < 0.001), while income showed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.464, p < 0.001). Preliminary data is a promising foundation for future research to improve recruitment of vulnerable populations. Correlations between age and social-media related appointments and income and social-media associated appointments can be helpful to address specific modes of outreach for target populations in the LGBTQIA + community.
