The Utilization of Syndemic Theory in Transgender Literature: A Structured Literature Review.
Review in Transgender health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: Trans and gender diverse (TGD) people are one of the world's most marginalized populations. Current evidence indicates that ostracism faced by these communities leads to multiple adverse conditions. The synergistic impact of these conditions -a syndemic-has been well established among other marginalized populations. Despite disproportionate rates of syndemic conditions, there is a dearth of literature exploring their effect among TGD people. This review sought to summarize the current literature regarding syndemic conditions among this population. Methods: A comprehensive search of databases (Medline, Embase, Global Health, PsycInfo, and CINAHL) was conducted; search terms included syndemics, syndemic theory, transgender, sexual minority, and gender minority. References within selected articles were also reviewed. Inclusion criteria for this review included studies that (1) explored the impact of syndemic factors and/or theory among TGD people, (2) were written in English, and (3) published up to December 2020. Results: The search generated 192 articles; 10 met the inclusion criteria. Substance use, mental health, and victimization were the most prominent syndemic conditions assessed. Current evidence is limited to sexual risk behaviors and provides preliminary support for an association between syndemic conditions and sexual risk behaviors. Conclusion: Understanding syndemics is vital to developing contextually suitable interventions or TGD people. Future researchers should work toward longitudinal or high-level modeling approaches of syndemic theory to effectively design interventions to improve health outcomes among TGD people. Furthermore, scholars should study the relationship between syndemic conditions and other outcomes to better understand the impact of syndemics on broader health consequences.
