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

purposeMany youth are gender diverse, but our understanding of sexual orientation among gender diverse youth (GDY) is limited. We sought to compare sexual identity, attraction, and contact between cisgender youth and GDY and to describe these characteristics across GDY subgroups.

methodsWe analyzed cross-sectional data from school-based surveys of 4,207 adolescents. Two-sample t-tests or chi-squared tests compared characteristics between GDY and cisgender youth. Sexual attraction/contact was summarized with frequencies/proportions and stratified by transmasculine, transfeminine, and nonbinary identities.

resultsTwo hundred eighty-one (9.1%) youth were GDY. Compared to cisgender peers, GDY were more likely to identify as sexual minority youth. In total, 29.9% of GDY were transmasculine, 36.7% transfeminine, and 33.5% nonbinary. Many transmasculine (45%) and transfeminine (58%) youth identified as heterosexual; most nonbinary youth (91%) identified as sexual minority youth. For transgender youth identifying as heterosexual, sexual attraction/contact varied. DISCUSSION: Aspects of sexuality among GDY remain complex, warranting individualized approaches to sexual/reproductive healthcare.
