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

Introduction: Black sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) people assigned female at birth (AFAB) face notable barriers to cervical cancer screening, including racism, heterosexism, and cisgenderism. Although weight-based discrimination is prevalent in the United States and may compound other forms of discrimination, no study has examined the association between weight-based discrimination in health care settings and Pap test use among Black SGM AFAB. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among Black SGM AFAB adults aged 18-45 years ( Results: Approximately one quarter (27.5%; Discussion: Additional research is needed to elucidate the unique experiences of specific subgroups of Black SGM people and to inform policies, norms, and practices that mitigate the occurrence and effects of weight-based health care discrimination among Black SGM people in the context of cervical cancer screening and other health services.
