Rewriting women's health: a content analysis of the Trump administration's revisions to womenshealth.gov.
Review in Lancet regional health. Americas, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In 2025, the Trump administration instituted rapid changes to the data and information available on US government websites. We conducted a content analysis of the website womenshealth.gov between January 17 and February 20, 2025, to describe the changes that were made and to analyze what the changes reveal about the administration's priorities. Findings show crucial evidence-based maternal health and reproductive health care information was removed, and no credible health information was added. The information that was added reinforces biological sex essentialism, framing women's bodies as weak and in need of protection and framing trans people as a threat. Thus, the administration effectively uses womenshealth.gov as a platform to promote gendered power inequalities and LGBTQ+ oppression, rather than to improve health. This agenda, despite not being about health, will undermine health-not only for women and sexual/gender minorities, but for the entire population.
