Integrating Sexual and Gender Minority Health in Medical Education: A Scoping Review.
Review in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations experience significant health disparities worldwide, many of which are exacerbated by barriers encountered within healthcare systems. This scoping review aims to map the existing literature on integrating SGM health into medical education, identify barriers to implementation, and examine the impact of educational interventions on learner outcomes. Scoping review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for studies published between January 2010 and December 2024 using terms related to SGM populations, LGBTQ+, medical education, curriculum, and cultural competency. Studies involving SGM-related educational content for medical students, residents, faculty, or healthcare professionals were included. Data were charted and synthesized thematically. Twenty-two studies were included. Three major themes emerged: stigma affecting the quality of SGM healthcare, widespread deficiencies in provider competency, and the positive impact of educational interventions on learner outcomes. Key barriers to curriculum integration included limited time, a lack of faculty expertise, institutional resistance, and the absence of standardized frameworks. However, interventions like workshops, online modules, and community engagement improved cultural competency and preparedness to provide affirming care. The findings highlight that persistent gaps in SGM-related content remain across medical education globally. Integrating evidence-based, culturally appropriate SGM health education into undergraduate and postgraduate curricula may improve provider competence and help reduce healthcare disparities. Further research should evaluate standardized curricula, faculty development strategies, and long-term educational outcomes.
