Filling a gap in care: addressing obesity in transgender and gender diverse patients.
Review in International journal of obesity (2005), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults are more likely to have obesity compared to cisgender peers. Based on surveys, the TGD population experiences disparities in healthy lifestyle behaviors (e.g., physical activity, screen time) compared to reference groups. They also face significant socioeconomic and healthcare barriers to accessing affirming care and gender minority stress, potentially contributing to increased weight. Gender-affirming hormone therapy is associated with changes in body composition and increased weight, which may impact cardiometabolic risk trajectory. Obesity can also be a barrier to gender-affirming surgeries, and affirming weight management services tailored to TGD patients are an important gap in healthcare to address. This Perspective briefly reviews current literature on the unique barriers experienced by TGD people and their identified needs regarding weight management interventions. It also suggests areas for future research to best fill this gap in healthcare and research while supporting the provision of lifesaving gender-affirming care.
