Emergency department presentations by trans and gender diverse people in Sydney, Australia: Retrospective case series.

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
objectiveComprehensively describe patient and presentation characteristics of trans and gender diverse (TGD) people attending the ED.
methodsRetrospective case series that evaluated TGD people of all ages presenting to a tertiary, inner-city ED in Sydney, New South Wales, over a 5-year period. TGD people were identified using the ED patient tracking system, triage text and clinical notes in the electronic medical records (eMR). Patient and presentation data were extracted and descriptively analysed, including clinical characteristics, mismatches in registered gender and name, and use of non-affirming language in discharge letters.
resultsA total of 340 TGD patients with 1519 ED presentations were identified. The number of ED presentations per year by TGD people increased by 74.2% over 5 years. Presentations were prioritised Australasian Triage Scale category 1-3 in 76.7%. Hospital admission was required in 25.5%, and 8.7% left prior to treatment completion. Suicidal ideation was the most common presenting problem (13.8%) and mental health was the most common ED diagnostic category (29.4%). The gender and name registered in the eMR correctly matched the patient's current identity in 47.1% and 56.8%, respectively. Misgendering and/or deadnaming occurred in 22.6% of those receiving an ED discharge letter.
conclusionMost TGD people identified by the present study had high acuity ED presentations, often presenting with acute mental health problems, and one-quarter were subsequently admitted to hospital. Mismatched patient details and misgendering and/or deadnaming on discharge letters were common. These findings highlight clear opportunities to improve the care of TGD people in the ED.
