Uncertainty and Confusion Regarding Transgender Non-discrimination Policies: Implications for the Mental Health of Transgender Americans.
Article in Sexuality research & social policy : journal of NSRC : SR & SP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Recent policies have restricted the rights of the US transgender people; there is a need to explore transgender people's knowledge and attitudes regarding such policies and related mental health. Methods: In 2019, 580 transgender adults living in the Northeastern US completed a survey assessing demographics, knowledge/attitudes toward transgender-related policies, and mental health. Multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for age, gender, race, and prior abuse, were fit to examine the association of concerns about the implementation of discriminatory policies and depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results: Many participants were confused about the status of federal and state protections for transgender people, and 48.4% were concerned that their state would pass policies that took away transgender rights. In adjusted models, compared to participants who were not concerned, those who were concerned about the enactment of state-level, anti-transgender policies had greater odds of depression, anxiety, and PTSD ( Conclusions: Our findings highlight the uncertainty around changing policies and potential mental health implications as well as the need to ensure legal protections for transgender Americans. Policy Implications: There are several pending lawsuits seeking to overturn Trump-era policies that restrict the rights of transgender individuals. At the same time, lawmakers in several states are pushing anti-transgender legislation. Findings from this study can be cited as part of future and ongoing legal and legislative efforts from advocates seeking to ensure equal protections for transgender people under state and federal law.
