[Gender Bias in Low-Value Clinical Practices in Primary Care: A Scoping Review].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2026. 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
Low-value clinical practices (LVPs) in primary care are not sex- or gender-neutral, yet the evidence on this bias remains scattered. Following a scoping review per PRISMA-ScR and JBI, with a PCC-structured question, we searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science (1999-2026), complemented by Spanish foundational primary-care safety studies (APEAS, EVADUR). After independent screening (agreement 81.1%) and a 2016-2026 window, 250 documents were included. Evidence concentrated in inappropriate psychotropic prescribing (n=181) and excessive diagnostic testing (n=124), with scarce representation in sex-differential screening, epidemiological reporting and referrals. No Spanish foundational study analysed sex/gender as a primary determinant. Gender operates as a determinant of which LVPs occur, for whom, and with what consequences; integrating sex-disaggregated analyses and SAGER are necessary conditions for equitable, safe primary care.
