Building LGBTQIA + Affirmative Health Professional Education Spaces in India Through Student-Led Advocacy: The TransCare Queer Ambassador Model.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLGBTQIA+ students in Indian health professional education (HPE) institutions face stigma and discrimination.
aimTo pioneer a year-long TransCare Queer Ambassador (QA) model to promote LGBTQIA+ inclusion in admissions, classrooms, residences, and infrastructure; build awareness; and strengthen the on-campus queer community by systematically supporting LGBTQIA+ student ambassadors across HPEs in India. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Eight QAs represented eight HPE institutions across seven Indian states, including Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Master of Public Health (MPH) students. Through mentorship, peer learning, and training in creative humanities methods like reflective writing, photography, and Forum Theatre, QAs co-developed solutions tailored to their respective institutional contexts. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Among Kirkpatrick Model of training evaluation level 4 results, QAs built strong peer-support networks by initiating LGBTQIA+ clubs on campus and forming online communities. They enhanced awareness and visibility through distributing pronoun badges and handbooks about the queer community, holding arts events around lived experiences, and starting dialogue around sexual harassment of LGBTQIA+ students. QAs established gender-neutral washrooms, and inclusive admissions forms and residencies. DISCUSSION: Despite challenges, if scaled up in India and globally, the QA model could create inclusive spaces and an affirmative health workforce for queer persons. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
