"Give me the sense that I matter:" Queer women's recommendations for an ideal cervical cancer screening exam and pathways to screening equity.
Article in Women's health (London, England). 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
backgroundCervical cancer screening is a powerful tool in the prevention, early detection, and diagnosis of precancers and cancer. There is mounting evidence, however, demonstrating that Queer cisgender women experience disparities in cervical cancer screening access and uptake compared to their heterosexual counterparts. To close gaps in screening, Queer women's voices and visions must foreground recommendations aimed at remedying screening inequities.
objectivesThis study aims to explore perceptions on an ideal cervical cancer screening exam among a racially and ethnically diverse group of Queer women.
designThis qualitative interview study is led in partnership with a multidisciplinary community steering committee. Our work is grounded in the Reproductive Justice Framework.
methodsWe held in-depth interviews with 19 Queer women to understand their recommendations for improving cervical cancer screening experiences for their community. Data from these interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis.
resultsWe identified five themes around creating an ideal cervical cancer screening experience among Queer women: (1) community outreach and education, (2) cues of affirmation and safety, (3) Queer patient navigation and advocacy, (4) Queer-affirming and knowledgeable providers, and (5) trauma-informed care.
conclusionEngaging Queer women in developing solutions to address screening disparities is a missing link in cervical cancer prevention and the advancement of reproductive health equity. We share actionable strategies at the healthcare professional, community, and organizational levels to support healthcare systems in translating Queer women's visions into practice. Our findings also inform medical organizations, expert panels, and health authorities on patient-defined strategies and pathways to remedying screening inequity.
