Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. 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
backgroundHealth care professionals often face challenges in providing affirming and culturally competent care to transgender, nonbinary, and intersex (TNBI) patients due to a lack of understanding and training in TNBI health care. This gap highlights the opportunity for tailored educational resources to enhance health care professionals' interactions with TNBI individuals.
objectiveThis study aimed to explore health care professionals' perspectives on education and awareness of health issues related to TNBI individuals. Specifically, it aimed to identify their needs, challenges, and preferences in accessing and using digital educational resources to enhance their knowledge and competence in providing inclusive and effective care for this population.
methodsA qualitative research approach was used in this study. In total, 15 health care professionals were recruited via convenience sampling to participate in semistructured interviews. Thematic analysis was applied to identify recurring codes and themes.
resultsThe study identified several themes and subthemes related to gender diversity awareness, inclusive communication and understanding the needs of TNBI individuals, societal and structural challenges, regulatory gaps in training and support infrastructure, education and training needs for health care professionals on TNBI care, educational resources and training tools for TNBI care, challenges and design considerations for eHealth tools integrations, and evaluating eHealth impact. Participants identified communication barriers, the need for health care providers to use inclusive language, and gaps in both health care system infrastructure and specialized training for gender-affirming care. In addition, participants expressed a need for comprehensive education on transgender and nonbinary health issues, resources for mental health professionals, user-friendly design, and accessibility features in eHealth tools.
conclusionsThe study revealed substantial deficiencies in health care professionals' knowledge of gender diversity, cultural competency, and the importance of inclusive communication. Addressing the identified barriers and challenges through targeted interventions, such as providing training and support for health care professionals, investing in user-friendly design and data security, and promoting cultural competence in TNBI health care, is essential. Despite integration challenges, eHealth tools have the potential to improve patient-health care professional relationships and access to care.
