Suicidal Ideation Among Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth: Mechanisms of Risk.

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
Purpose: Suicide is a leading public health concern among transgender and gender expansive adolescents, although little research has examined mechanisms through which gender identity is associated with suicidal ideation. This study examined the indirect effects of peer victimization, dating violence, substance use (SU), SU problems, and depressive symptoms in the relationship between gender identity and suicidal ideation. Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted from a 2018 statewide survey, including 4464 adolescents who identified as male, female, transgender, or gender expansive ( Results: Reports of suicidal ideation were highest among transgender (49.29%) and gender expansive (41.31%) adolescents compared with male (10.82%) and female adolescents (19.08%). Using the Karlson, Holm, and Breen approach, 50.45% of the effect of being transgender on suicidal ideation was mediated through peer victimization, dating violence, and depressive symptoms, and 39.29% through SU, SU problems, and depressive symptoms. The mediation through the same pathways for being gender expansive was 46.37% and 39.89%, respectively. Across both models, depressive symptoms predominately accounted for the mediating effect. Conclusion: Transgender and gender expansive youth are at alarming risk for suicidal ideation, which illustrates the critical need for suicide prevention within this population. Programs that promote mental health and work to prevent bullying, dating violence, SU, and SU problems are crucial; although longitudinal research is needed, targeting these mechanisms may play a critical role in reducing suicidal ideation and risk.
