Primary care providers' perspectives of experiences with transgender and gender diverse adults: A scoping review.

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
backgroundAs a minority group, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals may experience healthcare stressors due to stigma, transphobia and healthcare staff who lack the knowledge about their specific needs, impacting primary care entry and attendance. Extant literature is concentrated on TGD individuals' perspectives of primary care with the main message being that it is inadequate.
aimTo explore the primary care provider (PCP) perspective of experiences with adult TGD patients.
methodsA scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's five-step framework to map and de-scribe the literature relating to PCP perspectives' of experiences with TGD adults. Four databases were searched: PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL Plus. The process was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The final dataset (
resultsFollowing application of exclusion criteria and removal of duplicates, twenty-two studies across five countries were included in the review. Studies include qualitative studies, surveys, mixed methods studies, a retrospective review and a pilot study with a pre- and postintervention analysis. Key themes identified related to the attitudes of PCPs towards TGD individuals, education of PCPs on TGD health issues and the barriers/facilitators to caring for TGD patients from a PCP perspective.
conclusionThe review highlights the need for improved access to TGD-specific education. Future research should explore the best way to provide this to PCPs, inform implementation into relevant policies and include a broader range of countries to strengthen global applicability.
