1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals are highly stigmatized members of society and are significantly at higher risk of having mood or anxiety-related disorders compared to non-TGNB individuals. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, antidepressant prescribing data were collected from TGNB adults diagnosed with gender dysphoria (GD) and mood or anxiety-related disorder between January 2005 and October 2021. The primary outcome was to compare the number of active outpatient antidepressant prescriptions at the time of GD diagnosis between gender identities. The secondary outcomes were to compare antidepressant class utilization between gender identities as well as the prevalence of concurrent mood or anxiety-related disorder diagnoses between gender identities. Results: Of 131 patients who met inclusion criteria, there was no significant difference in number of active antidepressant prescriptions between gender identities at the time of the GD diagnosis ( Discussion: Although the number of active antidepressant prescriptions between gender identities were similar in this study, we found 38% of patients were not prescribed any antidepressants at time of GD and mood or anxiety-related disorders. This serendipitous finding elucidates a potential gap in mental health care among transgender adults.
