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
Introduction: Routine screening for health-related social needs (HRSNs) is inconsistent, creating disparities in who gets identified and supported. Transgender patients, already facing structural stigma, may be especially affected. Methods: We analyzed electronic health records from a large urban safety-net system (2018-2023). We identified 2639 transgender patients with at least one outpatient visit and created a ∼11:1 comparison cohort of 23 944 cisgender patients. Overall, 7.5% ( Results: Transgender patients were screened less often than cisgender patients (5.9% vs 7.7%, Conclusion: Transgender patients were underscreened yet faced greater HRSNs. Standardized screening and expanded supports are critical to support transgender communities.
