1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: LGBTQ+ older adults experience compounded vulnerabilities later in life, but most knowledge production about LGBTQ+ older adult experiences have occurred in coastal urban communities. This mixed-method community-engaged study aimed to (1) describe the occurrence and forms of material precarity among a sample of older LGBTQ+ adults in South Texas, (2) examine interactions between material precarity, health and social experiences; and (3) develop a cursory understanding of a community-driven LGBTQ+ aging agenda in the South Texas region. Methods: The research team deployed descriptive statistics, chi-square and Fisher's exact testing using community survey data ( Results: The survey indicated high rates of material precarity across four domains: housing, food, utilities, and prescription coverage. Material precarity in the survey sample was not significantly linked to sexual orientation, gender identity, or combined SOGI identity. Precarity was socially patterned, with household size, loneliness, social support, and chronic disease burden emerging as statistically significant correlations with various domains, respectively. Qualitative findings added depth to survey findings and identified three needs: (1) LGBTQ+ affirming affordable senior housing; (2) health justice efforts for LGBTQ+ older adults; and (3) social programming to address loneliness, age segregation, and loss of role in community. Findings highlight distinct vulnerabilities faced by LGBTQ+ older adults across the South Texas region.
