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

backgroundTransgender adolescents are at increased risk for negative sexual health outcomes compared to their cisgender peers.

methodsUsing data from 10,231 students from 7 high schools in a large, urban school district, our analysis compared sexual behaviors, referral to sexual health services by school staff, and use of sexual health services between transgender and cisgender students. We used propensity score matching to create a comparable sample of transgender and cisgender students and logistic regression models to examine how gender identity was associated with aforementioned outcomes.

resultsTransgender students were more likely to have ever had sex, less likely to have used a condom at last sex, and more likely to have been referred for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing, sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing, and other sexual health services than cisgender students. Transgender students were no more likely than cisgender students to have tested for HIV or STDs.

conclusionsThese findings underscore the need for understanding the risk perceptions held by transgender students and for prevention efforts that are inclusive for all gender identities. Research is needed to understand if school-based sexual health interventions such as staff referrals for sexual health services are effective for transgender students.
