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

The special issue on trauma and posttraumatic stress among two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and people with other diverse gender identities and sexual orientations (2SLGBTQIA+) populations comes amid heightened public health concerns driven by increased stigma and discrimination. In our introduction, we present the articles in the issue, which highlight the complexity of trauma and its effects as experienced by 2SLGBTQIA+ populations. These contributions, which advance science and inform public health research, employ quantitative, qualitative, or longitudinal methods. Areas of focus include: the impacts of non-DSM-5 Criterion A1 events, bisexual and transgender individuals, intersectional discrimination, geographic location, and interventions that respond to traumatic stress among this group. Additionally, the articles emphasize healing and strength through identity, community, and activism. Our introduction to this special issue concludes by highlighting four specific areas that need further attention to improve understanding of trauma and posttraumatic stress among 2SLGBTQIA+ populations: commitment to epistemic justice, research, intervention development, and training and education.
