Adolescent and Caregiver Perspectives on Receiving Gender-Affirming Care in Primary Care.
Article in Pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTransgender and gender-diverse (TGD) adolescents experience barriers to receiving gender-affirming care. Delivering services in the pediatric primary care setting may help facilitate improved access. With this study, we aimed to explore TGD adolescents' and caregivers' experiences receiving primary care services and their perspectives regarding gender-affirming care delivery in pediatric primary care.
methodsTGD adolescents aged 14 to 17 and caregivers of TGD adolescents currently receiving gender-affirming medical care participated in 1-hour-long, semi-structured, individual, virtual interviews. Each interview was recorded and transcribed. Transcripts were then individually coded, and themes were generated iteratively by using a reflexive thematic analysis framework. Recruitment of each group continued until thematic saturation was reached.
resultsA total of 33 participants (15 adolescents and 18 caregivers) completed interviews. Adolescent participants (mean age of 15.7 years) predominantly identified as transmasculine or trans male (73%), and caregiver participants were predominantly mothers (83.3%). Four themes were identified, which included (1) barriers, such as microaggressions and poor psychosocial support, (2) benefits, such as existing trusted relationships with primary care providers (PCPs) and convenience, (3) improvement strategies, such as training and interdisciplinary collaboration, and (4) opportunities for integrating primary care and specialty gender-affirming care.
conclusionsTGD adolescents and their caregivers reported previous negative interactions with PCPs; however, some desired to receive gender-affirming care in this setting, citing increased convenience, efficiency, and availability. Participants highlighted an ongoing need for further work to provide resources, education, and training to PCPs and their staff and improve PCP-to-specialist communication and collaboration.
