A "tax" on gender affirmation and safety: costs and benefits of intranational migration for transgender young adults in the San Francisco Bay area.
Article in Culture, health & sexuality, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Many transgender (trans) young adults migrate to urban enclaves with known infrastructures to fulfil gender affirmation needs such as obtaining trans-inclusive healthcare and support. This study sought to explore experiences of intranational migration (i.e. migration within a single country) for gender affirmation among trans young adults who relocated to San Francisco. A convenience sample of 61 trans young adults aged 18 to 29 (32% nonbinary, 28% trans women, and 40% trans men; 84% identified as a person of colour) participated in a one-time qualitative interview as part of a larger study. Thematic analysis was used to develop and refine the codes and themes. Three overarching themes became apparent regarding intranational migration and gender affirmation needs: (1) access to basic gender affirmation needs; (2) safety; and (3) the price of gender affirmation. Migration for gender affirmation and safety placed informants at risk for structural vulnerabilities including homelessness, unemployment and racism. Despite these structural vulnerabilities, participants were willing to "pay" the price in order to gain gender affirmation and safety. Findings underscore the importance of moving beyond individual-level risk factors to understand how unmet gender affirmation needs may place trans young adults in structurally vulnerable positions that can affect health and wellness.
