Sexual orientation and gender identity disparities in co-occurring depressive symptoms and probable substance use disorders in a national cohort of young adults.
Article in Addictive behaviors, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
This study examined sexual orientation and gender identity differences in co-occurring depressive symptoms and substance use disorders (SUDs) among young adults in the Growing Up Today Study national cohort (n = 12,347; ages 20-35; 93% non-Hispanic white). Self-administered questionnaires assessed recent co-occurring depressive symptoms and probable nicotine dependence, alcohol use disorder, and drug use disorder. Multinomial logistic regressions with generalized estimating equations quantified differences in prevalences of depressive symptoms only, SUDs only, and co-occurrence, among sexual minorities (mostly heterosexual; lesbian, gay, and bisexual [LGB]) compared to completely heterosexual participants, and gender minorities compared to cisgender participants. Analyses stratified by sex assigned at birth revealed sexual minorities evidenced greater odds of co-occurrence than their completely heterosexual counterparts (assigned female AORs: 3.11-9.80, ps < 0.0001; assigned male AORs: 2.90-4.87, ps < 0.001). Sexual orientation differences in co-occurrence were pronounced among LGB participants assigned female at birth who evidenced nearly 10 times the odds of co-occurring depressive symptoms with nicotine dependence and drug use disorders than did heterosexual participants assigned female at birth. Relationships between gender identity and co-occurrence were generally weaker, possibly due to low power. Gender minorities assigned male at birth, however, evidenced greater odds of co-occurring depressive symptoms and alcohol use disorders (AOR 2.75, p = 0.013) than their cisgender counterparts. This study adds to the limited research quantifying sexual orientation or gender identity differences in recent co-occurring depressive symptoms and SUDs among young adults and suggests sexual and gender minority young adults should be prioritized in prevention and treatment of co-occurring depression and SUDs.
