Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. 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
Background: Nursing is grounded in caring and supported by professional and legislative frameworks that mandate equitable services. Despite this, nurses often face challenges in delivering culturally competent care to marginalized individuals. In South Africa, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and other (LGBTQI+) persons continue to experience healthcare disparities when accessing primary healthcare (PHC) services. Objective: This study aimed to explore and describe the barriers that PHC nurses experience in providing culturally competent care to LGBTQI+ persons in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Methods: An exploratory qualitative design was employed. Using snowball sampling, two focus group interviews were conducted with professional nurses. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide and were analyzed thematically. Results: Nurses reported being inadequately prepared to provide culturally competent care to LGBTQI+ people. Personal and systemic factors constrained inclusive practice. Conclusion: The findings of this study underscore a pressing need to empower nurses through training, support, and systemic change, thereby fostering inclusive and culturally congruent care for LGBTQI+ individuals in South African primary healthcare facilities.
