Asexuality Disclosure in Healthcare: Attachment and Patient-Reported Experiences in a Cross-Sectional Pilot Survey.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and Aims: Asexual adults often report misunderstandings during clinical encounters. We described romantic attachment (ECR-R anxiety/avoidance) in an asexual sample and tested whether disclosure in medical settings was associated with feelings of misunderstanding, stigma, and a (dis) comfort-discussing orientation. Methods: This was a cross-sectional online pilot survey ( Results: Mean ECR-R scores: anxiety 3.28 (SD 1.30), avoidance 3.47 (SD 1.41). Avoidance was higher in sex-averse than in sex-favourable participants (Hedges' Conclusion: Disclosure patterns are related to reported healthcare experiences of asexual patients. Non-presumptive sexual history taking, patient-led disclosure options (e.g., an "asexual" field), and asexuality-competent communication training may improve care. Larger multi-site studies are warranted.
