Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data in Oncology: Thematic Analysis From a National Qualitative Interview Study.
Article in Cancer medicine, 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
importanceSexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data are vital, but inconsistently collected among cancer centers.
objectiveThis study aims to identify themes from a large set of interviews regarding the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data in oncology practice.
settingOncology care settings in diverse geopolitical regions in the United States.
participantsSixty-two semi-structured interviews across 23 cancer centers in the United States were conducted from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. Interview transcripts were transcribed and double-coded using thematic analysis and emergent coding. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: We used inductive, open coding thematic qualitative analysis with no predetermined constructs.
resultsKey themes included: (1) barriers to SOGI data collection include stigma and bias, generational and geopolitical resistance, fragmented workflows, competing priorities and institutional inertia; (2) the importance of staff exposure to lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals in understanding SOGI's clinical relevance; and (3) structural challenges to equitable care for transgender patients, including electronic health record (EHR) limitations and billing issues. Taken together, these findings reveal a complex interplay of sociocultural, institutional, and systemic barriers that impede routine SOGI data collection in cancer care.
