Transgender and gender-diverse identity in patients with eating disorders: A national cross-sectional study.
Article in European eating disorders review : the journal of the Eating Disorders Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis national study aimed to estimate the prevalence of the transgender and gender-diverse identity and to assess the level of gender congruence, body dissatisfaction and quality of life among patients with eating disorders in Denmark.
methodPatients with eating disorders were compared to a matched non-clinical comparison group. The survey included the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire and assessment of body dissatisfaction, gender congruence and quality of life.
resultsIn total 568 patients with eating disorders and 538 individuals from the non-clinical comparison group were included. The prevalence of individuals identifying as transgender or gender-diverse was 4.50% (n = 20) among patients with eating disorders, and 6.23% (n = 23) in the non-clinical comparison group (p-value = 0.276). The transgender and gender-diverse individuals with eating disorders showed no statistically significant differences in eating disorder symptomatology compared to the cisgender individuals with eating disorders; however, they reported significantly more body dissatisfaction, less gender congruence and lower quality of life.
conclusionThe prevalence of transgender and gender-diverse individuals did not differ between patients with eating disorders and the non-clinical comparison group; however, transgender and gender-diverse individuals with eating disorders may be characterised by pronounced body dissatisfaction and low quality of life.
