Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo explore absenteeism among racially and ethnically minoritized transgender youth (trans REMY) compared to their White transgender (trans WY) and racially and ethnically minoritized cisgender (cis REMY) peers and identify associated psychosocial factors.
methodsBiennial California Healthy Kids Survey 2017-2019 data was analyzed with a weighted sample of California's secondary school population. Students reported past 30-day absences due to mental health and harassment, depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, cyberbullying, victimization, and school connectedness. Poisson and linear regression compared absenteeism and psychosocial factors among peer groups. For trans REMY, Poisson regression assessed associations between absenteeism and psychosocial factors. Analyses were adjusted for grade, sex, and socioeconomic status.
resultsThe analytical sample (n = 25,085) included 206 trans REMY, 64 trans WY, and 24,815 cis REMY. Trans REMY had higher relative risk of absenteeism due to mental health concerns and harassment compared to cis REMY (adjusted relative risk 2.9, 95% confidence interval 2.1-4.0 and adjusted relative risk 8.1, 95% confidence interval 4.0-16.6, respectively) but similar risk when compared to trans WY. For trans REMY, depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and victimization were associated with higher relative risk of absenteeism due to mental health concerns. Cyberbullying was associated with a higher risk of absenteeism due to harassment. Higher school connectedness was associated with lower risk of absenteeism due to mental health concerns. DISCUSSION: Trans REMY reported higher rates of school absenteeism due to mental health concerns and harassment compared to some of their peers. Mental health symptoms, victimization, cyberbullying, and school connectedness were associated with absenteeism among trans REMY.
