Transgender and gender diverse patients' experiences with pregnancy-related genetics discussions: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of genetic counseling, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Reproductive healthcare experiences for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals are often characterized by cisheteronormative biases and inadequate support. Despite growing recognition of the need for gender-inclusive care, there remains a dearth of research exploring TGD individuals' perspectives on pregnancy-related genetic discussions with healthcare providers. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating TGD individuals' experiences with pregnancy-related genetic discussions, focusing on the challenges they face and strategies for improving care. The study employed a qualitative approach, including demographic surveys and semi-structured interviews with questions centered on pregnancy-related genetic discussions, to gather data from 15 TGD participants. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis with a queer theoretical lens to identify key themes and insights. The findings revealed pervasive cisheteronormative biases in pregnancy-related genetics discussions, including providers misgendering patients during routine genetics explanations and conflation of sex and gender. Participants highlighted the lack of information on the effects of testosterone therapy on pregnancies and expressed discomfort in gendered clinic spaces. Participants advocated for gender-inclusive training for all healthcare staff and the adoption of affirming practices to create more inclusive healthcare environments. This study underscores the urgent need to address systemic biases and shortcomings in reproductive genetics healthcare for TGD individuals. By prioritizing gender-inclusive training and promoting affirming clinical environments, healthcare providers can work towards ensuring equitable access to reproductive and genetic healthcare for TGD patients.
