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
Introduction: Climate change necessitates inclusive disaster preparedness strategies. Gender and sexual minorities in Zimbabwe face marginalisation, with limited access to resources and exclusion from climate change adaptation efforts. Methods and analysis: This mixed-methods study protocol will be conducted in Bulawayo Province, Zimbabwe, involving 165 participants identified through the Sexual Rights Centre. Quantitative data will be collected using semistructured questionnaires, and qualitative data will be gathered through focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Qualitative data will enhance the quantitative findings to ensure that robust conclusions are drawn. The study will commence in April 2026 and is expected to be completed by December 2026. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was granted by the National University of Science and Technology Institutional Review Board (NUST/IRB/2024/062). Written informed consent will be obtained from all the participants. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and policy briefs shared with the Zimbabwean Ministry of Local Government and Public Works and community feedback sessions with the Sexual Rights Centre.
