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

Background: Transgender and/or gender expansive (TGE) individuals in the United States (US) face barriers to sexual wellbeing. TGE communities have largely been excluded from sex education programs, putting the onus of programming on community agencies and healthcare providers. Acceptable TGE-tailored educational programming for sexual wellbeing has been understudied. Sexual health experts have recently outlined a framework for supporting sexual wellness Methods: As part of a community-engaged research study, we conducted qualitative interviews ( Results: Participants' most highly ranked topics were consent, boundaries, safety, security, and agency in interpersonal dynamics, trauma-informed and sex-positive sexual wellbeing approaches, and shame, self-esteem and acceptance of gender and sexual identity. Participants identified several intervention strategies for addressing these topics, including in-person, trans-led didactic sessions (e.g. workshops and classes for TGE people) to discuss effective sexual health communication with partners. Participants thought that sexual wellness interventions should be implemented in community-based settings as well as in centralized online resources. Conclusion: Our study provides insights for leveraging community priorities into community- and clinic-based programming to support equity in sexual wellbeing for TGE individuals. By incorporating education around safety and trauma-informed approaches, providers may facilitate sexual wellbeing among TGE individuals. Future studies should develop TGE-tailored sexual wellbeing interventions and evaluate their impact on sexual wellbeing indicators.
