The experiences of sexual and gender minorities accessing perinatal care: A scoping review.
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
backgroundSexual and gender minorities (SGMs) experience discrimination and stigma when accessing healthcare due to the prevalence of dominant heterocisnormative culture, which leads to poorer health outcomes when compared to the general population. Current international perinatal care policies mostly do not acknowledge the existence of SGMs or their health care needs.
objectivesTo conduct a scoping review that examines the existing international literature on the experiences of childbearing SGMs accessing perinatal care. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: English-language primary evidence discussing the experiences of SGMs accessing perinatal care. Eligibility was not restricted by country or study design. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE: Studies were sourced from CINAHL, Scopus and OVID Medline using standardised search strategies.Chartings Methods:Data were charted in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations outlined by the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Synthesis and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).
resultsSixteen studies were identified as eligible for inclusion. Studies originated from predominantly western countries and contexts. Participants were predominantly white and highly educated where demographic data were available. Five themes were identified: structural stigma, interpersonal stigma, affirmation of identity, resilience and positive experiences. Intersex experiences are under-researched.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate several barriers and facilitators experienced by SGMs while accessing perinatal care. Policies should be developed to address stigma and barriers and support inclusive practice, alleviating the burden on SGM people to resist heterocisnormativity when seeking care in perinatal settings.
