Transgender and nonbinary patients' psychotherapy goals: A secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of psychiatric research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveGoal setting is an important factor that contributes to positive outcomes in psychotherapy, yet research has not focused on this particular aspect of process and outcome of psychotherapy for transgender and nonbinary (TNB) patients.
methodsThe present study used secondary data analysis from a pilot randomized controlled trial focused on trans-affirmative therapy for TNB patients (N = 19). The aims of the present study were twofold: 1) gain an in-depth understanding of goals prior to the course of psychotherapy for TNB patients and 2) determine the outcome of goal setting after a 12-session course of psychotherapy with TNB patients. Content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
resultsResults indicated that the majority (70%) of goals were met at termination. The results also indicated that the majority of goals (73%) were not related to gender. The content analysis revealed that there were five overarching themes regarding the types of goals described by TNB patients: 1) managing mental health symptoms, stress, and distress; 2) developing skills to improve well-being; 3) working on relationships; 4) exploring and understanding of trans identity (gender identity); and 5) orienting towards positive growth and development. Patients' mean scores indicated that goals focused on developing skills to improve well-being were rated the highest regarding change over the course of 12 sessions of psychotherapy.
conclusionsThis study illuminates the importance of assessing TNB patients' goals and understanding which goals resulted in the highest amount of self-reported change over 12 sessions of psychotherapy.
