Psychometric evaluation of the chinese version of transgender congruence scale.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. 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
backgroundIn China, research on the mental health of transgender populations is increasingly prevalent; however, there is a lack of localized psychological measurement tools that align with the characteristics of this population. The Transgender Congruence Scale (TCS) is widely used internationally. This study aims to assess the reliability, validity, and psychometric characteristics of the Chinese version of the TCS among the Chinese transgender sample.
methodsA total of 264 participants with a mean age of 24.88 (SD = 5.91) were recruited from October 2023 to January 2024. They completed the Chinese version of the TCS, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Confirmatory factor analysis of the TCS was performed using IBM SPSS Amos 28 software to assess the construct validity. Reliability, convergent validity, and measurement invariance analysis were also evaluated.
resultsThe reliability coefficients of the revised 9-item TCS were satisfactory (Cronbach's α = 0.85, McDonald's ω = 0.87). The two-factor model of the instrument was supported (χ
conclusionsThese findings suggested that the TCS can serve as a short yet effective tool for assessing the congruence between external appearance and internal self among TGD individuals in clinical or research settings.
