Gender identity and sexual orientation in Austrian adolescents.
Article in PLOS global public health, 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
In many European countries, representative data on the proportion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adolescents are still lacking. Therefore, this study used data of 9,295 adolescents (11 to 17 years) who participated in two nationwide surveys (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study and Austrian Health Study on Apprentices) and investigated answers regarding gender identity and sexual orientation. Additionally, age- and gender-specific patterns and mocking answers given were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. Results show that 0.8% of Austrian adolescents identified with a gender other than female or male and 10.5% with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual, with other sexual orientations being more common in girls (14%) than boys (4%). Only five adolescents were unsure about their gender identity and every twentieth adolescent did not identify with a sexual orientation yet. Most adolescents took the questionnaire seriously, with only 82 (0.8%) mocking answers given. These mocking answers were classified in seven groups, with Popular Culture and Memes being the largest group. This study makes a significant contribution to the collection of data on gender identity and sexual orientation of (Austrian) adolescents.
