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

Introduction: Medical mistrust (MM), distrusting medical professionals and systems due to experiences of marginalization, is related to health disparities. Little is known about MM among young cisgender sexual minority women and transgender and non-binary (TNB) young adults. We examined correlates and compared rates of MM among these groups. Methods: Data came from a longitudinal cohort study, collected between 2019 and 2020. Participants completed measures of demographics (age, race/ethnicity, and gender identity), MM, victimization, internalized stigma, social support, resilience, STI testing, gender-affirming hormone use, and self-rated physical health. Bivariate correlational analyses tested the strength of associations between predictor variables and MM. Variables significantly correlated with MM were included in multiple regression models. Moderating effects of gender identity were also tested. Results: Analyses included 410 participants ( Conclusions: More distal instead of proximal minority stressors and family support over other types of social support were associated with reduced MM. Policy Implications: Reducing general experiences of victimization, increasing family support, and considering intersectional structural stigma can help address MM among these groups.
