On the Frontlines: Protecting and Advancing Gender-Affirming Care in a Hostile Sociopolitical Environment.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Since 2020, there has been a significant cultural and political backlash in the USA to growing acceptance of gender diversity and gender-affirming care. Legislative attacks, particularly targeting gender-affirming care access for transgender and gender diverse youth, have occurred in a media environment rife with misinformation and disinformation. Even in states where a ban is not enacted, we have seen significant harm caused by such misinformation and disinformation, to transgender and gender diverse patients, their families, and clinicians who provide this important and much needed care, in the form of clinic closures and disruption of services. In this hostile sociopolitical environment, we present strategies for health care organizations and workers to continue to provide this lifesaving care thoughtfully, to safeguard the protections currently in place, and to continue to advocate for patients, families, and health care staff.
