Epidemiology of non-communicable diseases among transgender population residing in Chennai district, Tamil Nadu.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: There is a paucity of research on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart diseases among transgenders, with more importance given to diseases like HIV. The study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of NCDs, their risk factors and the associated factors among transgenders residing in Chennai district, Tamil Nadu. Methodology: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study done among 145 transgenders residing in the Chennai district, Tamil Nadu, selected by snowball sampling method. Data were collected by a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire, anthropometric data were measured, and blood pressure was measured by a mercury sphygmomanometer using standard protocols. Data were entered in Excel software and analysed by using SPSS version 25. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 36 ± 4.2 years. Nearly 91% had only up to school education. Around 26.7% suffered from type 2 diabetes mellitus, 15.1% had a history of hypertension, 36.3% were newly diagnosed hypertensives, and 13.9% were overweight/obese. Almost 40% were either current tobacco or alcohol consumers. There was a statistically significant association found between overweight/obesity and education, work, and income of study participants. Conclusion: The high prevalence of NCDs among the study participants warrants health education among transgenders to get screened for common NCDs. Further research is needed to understand the risks of NCDs among transgenders.
