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

The purpose of this study is to describe experiences with healthcare among transgender women. Data are from cross-sectional surveys conducted in San Francisco in 2019 (N=201) and 2023 (N=339). Most transgender women in both surveys had health insurance (92.5% and 92.0%, respectively). Having a provider they felt comfortable with discussing gender-related health issues declined from 81.1% in 2019 to 63.7% in 2023. Many reported being denied healthcare (11.5%), mistreatment by providers (16.4%), and avoiding seeking healthcare (19.2%) due to their gender identity. Training for healthcare providers is needed to ensure respectful and effective care for transgender women.
