I'm not putting on that floral gown: Enforcement and resistance of gender expectations for transgender people with cancer.

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
objectivesUnderstanding barriers to care for transgender people with cancer is necessary to increase oncologic care access. Little has been published regarding the experiences of transgender people with cancer. We sought to explore these experiences, assess barriers to oncologic care, and elucidate potential solutions.
methodsUsing an interpretive descriptive approach, we conducted two group interviews with transgender people who had been diagnosed with cancer and one with physicians who treat patients with cancer. Two investigators independently analyzed verbatim transcripts and, together, refined themes, resolving disagreements with consensus. Member checking and peer debriefing were used to confirm and elaborate on findings.
resultsSeven people who had been diagnosed with cancer and five physicians who treat people with cancer participated in group interviews. Themes included: (a) experiences with cancer may uniquely impact transgender people; (b) enforcement of clinician and systemic gender expectations creates barriers to cancer care; and (c) resistance to gender expectations may facilitate care.
conclusionsGender expectations create barriers to oncologic care, which can be resisted by patients, clinicians, and institutions. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Clinicians and institutions should create gender-inclusive oncologic spaces, demonstrate allyship, and support patient autonomy to decrease barriers to care for transgender people with cancer.
