Acceptability of Biospecimen Collection Among Sexual and/or Gender Minority Adults in the United States.
Article in Annals of LGBTQ public and population health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Health studies using biospecimens have an underrepresentation of sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) participants, making it difficult to use data to advance SGM health knowledge. This study examined: 1) the willingness of SGM adults to provide research biospecimens, 2) if SGM groups differ in their willingness, 3) the relationship of demographic characteristics with willingness, and 4) the ideas/concerns of SGM adults toward providing research biospecimens. Data collected in 2018-2019 from The Population Research in Identity and Disparities for Equality Study were analyzed. Regressions examined willingness to provide biospecimens (blood, buccal swab, hair, saliva, and urine) across SGM groups (cisgender sexual minority [SM] men, cisgender SM women, gender-expansive, transfeminine, and transmasculine adults; N = 4,982) and the relationship of demographics with a willingness to provide each biospecimen type. A thematic analysis of an open-ended item elucidated SGM adults' (N = 776) perspective toward providing biospecimens. Most SGM adults were willing to provide biospecimens. Cisgender SM women were less willing to provide some types (blood 54% and urine 63%) than the other groups. Cisgender SM men were most willing to provide all types. Older age, identifying as pansexual, and income >$50,000/year were associated with increased odds of providing biospecimen(s). Gender identity was a significant predictor for all biospecimen types. A gender identity other than cisgender man was associated with 1.6-2.4× lower odds of providing biospecimen(s). Participants expressed concerns about data confidentiality and privacy, data access and misuse, research purposes, and inadvertent disclosure of SGM status. SGM adults' concerns about donating biospecimens can be used to create an affirming and inclusive methodology.
