Intersex health training is associated with sustained competency gains in the healthcare workforce.

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: Education on intersex health remains limited across healthcare professional training pathways, resulting in persistent gaps in workforce competencies. Existing educational initiatives are often fragmented, small in scale, and rarely evaluated beyond immediate post-training outcomes. Robust evidence on the sustainability of educational effects over time is still scarce. Objectives: To evaluate the immediate and six-month educational impact of a large-scale e-learning training program on intersex health among healthcare professionals. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of a national asynchronous e-learning program delivered between February and August 2023. The program targeted physicians, psychologists, midwives, and healthcare assistants and was designed using a problem-based learning approach. Educational outcomes were assessed at baseline (T0), immediately after course completion (T1), and at six-month follow-up (T2), using self-reported measures of attitudes and perceived skills, a knowledge assessment test, and a training satisfaction questionnaire. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests, ANCOVA, and McNemar tests. Results: Among 6,332 participants completing both T0 and T1 assessments, 1,036 also completed the six-month follow-up. Participants were predominantly female (73.9%), with psychologists (47.8%) and physicians (39.1%) representing the largest professional groups. Significant improvements were observed at T1 in attitudes (+0.54), perceived skills (+1.45), and knowledge (+11.7 percentage points; all Conclusion: This study provides longitudinal evidence that a large-scale e-learning training program was associated with significant and sustained improvements in healthcare workforce competencies in a traditionally under-addressed area of care. Structured, cross-disciplinary training delivered through accessible digital formats may offer a scalable strategy to strengthen workforce preparedness and reduce educational gaps in intersex healthcare.
