Predictors of eating-related psychopathology in transgender and gender nonbinary individuals.

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
objectiveResearch examining the prevalence and severity of eating-related psychopathology in transgender and gender nonbinary individuals is limited. This study examined how identity development and minority stress relate to the presence of disordered eating behaviors and cognitions in transgender and gender nonbinary individuals, and improvement at one-year follow-up.
methodsData come from a multi-site, longitudinal study of transgender and gender nonbinary individuals (n = 287) and includes assessment of transgender congruence, receipt of gender-affirming care, minority stress, and disordered eating symptoms. Hierarchical multivariable logistic regression was used to test for associations between identity development, minority stress, and eating-related psychopathology.
resultsEighty-three participants (28.9%) met criteria for current eating-related psychopathology. Loss of control eating was the most commonly endorsed behavior, followed by laxative, diuretic, or other medication use, and compulsive exercise. Higher transgender congruence was associated with lower odds of disordered eating symptoms (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.55-0.94), whereas increased internalized transphobia was associated with greater odds of disordered eating symptoms (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.04-1.91). Participants with eating-related psychopathology had greater odds of having received gender-affirming psychotherapy in the year prior to assessment (OR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.32-4.14).
conclusionsResults suggest that gender identity development and internalized transphobia are associated with eating-related psychopathology in transgender and gender nonbinary individuals. Mental health providers should consider assessing all transgender and gender nonbinary individuals for eating-related psychopathology and unique risk factors associated with disordered eating, including low transgender congruence and internalized transphobia.
