Shortcomings of transgender identity concealment research: a scoping review of associations with mental health.
Review in International journal of transgender health, 2025. 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
Background: Empirical research indicates that high rates of mental health issues in members of marginalised population groups are predicted in part by their decisions to disclose or conceal their stigmatized identities from others-a field of study known as Methods: This scoping review explores the theoretical and operational definitions of trans disclosure and concealment in 46 English-language papers, identified from extensive database searches, addressing relationships between these concepts and mental health factors. Results: Findings indicate that the issues outlined above remain unresolved, even in the widely-used Conclusion: We encourage researchers to address these neglected areas, reevaluate the language used in measurement questions, and conduct longitudinal research to support an accurate understanding of trans outness phenomena.
