The association between gender identity fluidity and health outcomes in transgender and gender diverse people in New Orleans and Los Angeles, USA.

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
Objectives: Most studies with transgender and gender diverse people (TGD) examine gender identity cross-sectionally. Gender identity and expression can fluctuate over time, which may have implications for health. The goal of our study was to compare mental health, substance use and healthcare utilization among 163 gender identity fluid (1 + identity change) and gender identity consistent (no change) TGD. Methods: Participants were recruited in New Orleans, LA and Los Angeles, CA and assessed at four-month intervals over 24 months between 2017 and 2021. We conducted logistic regression models to test for associations between gender identity fluidity and health outcomes at 24 months. In post hoc analyses, we explore how controlling for cross-sectional report of gender identity at 24 months may impact the association between gender identity fluidity and health outcomes. Results: We saw no significant differences across mental health and substance use indicators. Gender identity fluid participants had 5.9 times the adjusted odds (95 % Confidence Interval (CI): 1.9-18.4) of no recent healthcare visit compared to gender identity consistent participants. After controlling for cross-sectional report of gender identity, the association between gender identity fluidity and no recent healthcare visit remained significant (aOR = 4.6; 95 % CI: 1.4-14.8). Conclusions: Because providers have limited experience providing gender-affirming care or treating patients with fluid gender identities, gender identity fluid patients may avoid healthcare more than gender identity consistent patients. Our preliminary study highlights the need to measure gender identity longitudinally and examine the relationship between gender identity fluidity and health.
