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

purposeSexual and gender minority people (SGM) experience multiple cancer-related disparities, including higher rates of cancer risk factors, lower rates of cancer screening, higher lifetime risk of cancer, and unmet needs throughout cancer survivorship. Although many national organizations, including the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society (ACS), have emphasized the need for more cancer research among SGM communities, currently no consensus exists about the highest research priorities, promising research models, or mechanisms to support collaboration between geographically dispersed scientific teams.

methodsTo address this gap, we convened a three-day conference to focus on the "Science of Cancer Health Equity for SGM Communities." Held at the New York University (NYU) Langone Medical Center Campus in New York City from October 5-7, 2023, this conference brought together researchers, trainees, early-stage investigators, and community members. The conference aimed to: 1) examine the current span of evidence-based research on SGM cancer across the cancer control continuum; 2) establish SGM cancer research priorities; 3) promote the careers and research of trainees and early stage investigators, especially those from minoritized backgrounds; 4) develop a transdisciplinary network of professionals with a focus on mentorship and shared research methods; and 5) disseminate findings from this conference, including priorities for SGM cancer health equity research.

resultsResponse to the conference was overwhelmingly positive.

conclusionThe success of this inaugural conference indicated the need for additional efforts to advance SGM cancer research and expand on scientific priorities.
