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

Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and persons with other gender identities (LGBTQ+) report difficulties in accessing and receiving health care, extending into OB/GYN care, with patients frequently being seen in this setting for nuanced, sensitive concerns. Up to 90% of OB/GYN residents desire more education on caring for the LGBTQ+ community. We explored the impact of a simulation-based learning experience (SBLE) designed around effective communication and the health care needs of LGBTQ+ patients on OB/GYN residents' confidence and knowledge when caring for this community. Methods: Between 2024 and 2025, 12 third- and fourth-year OB/GYN residents participated in a 3-hour SBLE covering 4 LGBTQ+ topics delivered by trained standardized patients with lived experiences within the LGBTQ+ community. Participants' confidence and knowledge were assessed pre-SBLE, immediately post-SBLE, and 4-6 months post-SBLE, utilizing a 7-item Likert scale self-report of confidence adapted from a previously published study and an internally validated 8-item multiple-choice knowledge assessment. Paired sample Results: There was a mean 20% improvement in the immediate confidence assessment ( Discussion: Participation in SBLEs on LGBTQ+-related health care topics can improve OB/GYN residents' confidence and knowledge in caring for this community. Continued education may be indicated to address knowledge decay over time.
