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: There are unique challenges associated with providing inclusive, equitable care to transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people within residential alcohol and other drug (AOD) settings. With an increase in inclusion-based legislation, publicly funded services are required to provide inclusive care for TGD people. This study explored perceptions of AOD service workers regarding the inclusion of TGD clients in public residential AOD services in Victoria, Australia. We assessed workers' perspectives on their services' ability to provide TGD-inclusive care, and identified individual services workers levels of TGD inclusive practice. Method: A mixed-methods cross-sectional design was employed combining a quantitative survey with qualitative perspectives from key informant interviews. The survey (completed by 85 workers) included demographic questions and the Trans-Inclusive Provider Scale (TIPS) and Transgender Inclusive Behavior Scale (TIBS) to measure inclusive practices and behaviors. Key informant interviews provided deeper context and understanding of the barriers and facilitators to TGD inclusive care. Results: We found significant gaps in TGD-inclusive practices among AOD service workers, despite a general willingness to support TGD clients. Participants who identified as LGBTIQA+ reported significantly higher TIBS scores than non-LGBTIQA+ identifying participants (χ Discussion: While there appears to be a strong desire to provide TGD inclusive care, significant gaps in knowledge and practice remain within the residential AOD sector. Addressing these gaps through targeted training, improved visual signaling, and flexible service provision can work to address inequities in care.
