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

purposeSexual and gender minoritized persons (SGMs) experience inequities, harms, and gaps in care in organ and tissue donation and transplantation (OTDT) systems. The experiences of SGMs navigating OTDT have not been published from their own perspectives.

methodsWe conducted semistructured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and performed a formal qualitative best-fit framework synthesis and inductive thematic analysis with an SGM OTDT patient and caregiver advisory team (N = 12/13) to characterize their self-described experiences.

resultsEmergent themes included: 1) stigma, discriminatory criteria, and inertia to change; 2) OTDT patient and community relations; 3) benefits, strength, and resilience of the SGM community; and 4) SGM priorities and opportunities for improvement. Each theme and its respective subthemes are presented with representative quotes.

conclusionsOur novel findings detail the ways that SGMs experience OTDT health care, highlighting the harms of discriminatory donor risk assessment criteria and the need for equitable policy revision. Opportunities to enhance inclusive care include institutional acknowledgement of inequities and transparent communication, target training for health care providers, and intersectional SGM and OTDT caregiver support networks.
