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
Purpose: We assessed changes in US medical schools' social media communication regarding LGBTQ+ topics and changes in website Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) related content after the January 2025 anti-DEI executive orders. Method: Social media profiles from the top fifty medical schools as defined by the 2024 Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research were reviewed from Feb-June 2024 and Feb-June 2025 and the number of posts featuring LGBTQ+ content was compared. Platforms included X and Instagram. Medical school websites were reviewed during pre- and post-executive orders timeframes and the presence of a DEI office or diversity statement was compared. We evaluated by linear regression whether results correlated with the medical school state's 2024 presidential voting record. Results: The average number of LGBTQ+ related posts per medical school decreased from 3.10 to 0.88 ( Conclusion: We found a significant decrease in medical school LGBTQ+ social media content, publicized DEI offices, and published diversity statements after the anti-DEI executive orders of 2025. These changes may impact medical school climate for LGBTQ+ students and faculty and the impact of these changes requires further study.
