Suicidality among Gender Minority Youth: Analysis of 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data.
Article in Archives of suicide research : official journal of the International Academy for Suicide Research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
We examined differences in suicidality based on gender identity while adjusting for known suicide risk factors in a sample of United States adolescents. Using data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey we used logistic regression models to examine three suicide-related outcomes. Youth were categorized as transgender (1.3%), gender-questioning (1.4%), or cisgender (97.3%). In fully adjusted models, compared to cisgender youth, transgender youth had 2.71 (95% CI 1.50-4.92) higher odds of past-year suicide attempts and 2.54 (95% CI 1.05-6.15) higher odds of past-year suicide attempts requiring treatment. Gender-questioning youth had 2.31 (95% CI 1.48-3.60) higher odds of past-year suicidal ideation compared to cisgender youth. Policies and interventions are needed to reduce suicidality among gender minority youth, improve access to mental healthcare, and reduce peer victimization and substance use.
