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

This commentary explores the invisible identity-based emotional labour carried out by LGBTQIA+ staff coordinating community-focused programmes within civil society organisations (CSOs) that increasingly supplement public health systems in low- and middle-income countries. Drawing on lived experience and observations from LGBTQIA + -led and LGBTQIA + -affirmative health systems work in India within CSOs, we examine how LGBTQIA+ staff navigate the demands of professionalism, representation, and funder expectations within rigid institutional hierarchies. We offer recommendations for organisations and funders to recognise emotional labour and move towards ethical partnerships and supportive workplace environments.
