Exploring Interactions Between Transgender, Gender-Diverse, and Nonbinary Individuals and Allied Health Professionals in Clinical Practice: A Scoping Review.
Review in Transgender 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
Transgender, gender diverse, and nonbinary (TGDNB) individuals access allied health care services for various reasons; however, barriers such as fear of discrimination and stigmatization exist. Little is known about the positive or negative features of health care encounters between allied health professionals and TGDNB individuals. This scoping review sought to (1) summarize current evidence describing health care encounters between allied health professionals and TGDNB individuals; (2) identify the extent of clinical practice guidance specific for allied health professionals; and (3) identify recommendations for improving allied health care for TGDNB individuals. A comprehensive search of four electronic databases and two grey literature sources was conducted from January 1, 2000 to September 26, 2021. Relevant data were extracted and summarized narratively, and recommendations were summarized via table. Thirty-five articles were included in this review. Barriers faced by TGDNB individuals in accessing allied health services included previous negative experiences, lack of clinician competence, financial barriers, travel times, lack of understanding of allied health scope and fear of stigmatization, and discrimination. No clinical guidelines were identified specific to allied health; however, eight key recommendations emerged from the synthesis: a need for TGDNB-specific referrals, resources and advocacy, clinician education, awareness and use of patient pronouns, gender neutral environments, inclusive and welcoming environments, gender-inclusive intake forms, confidentiality and privacy, and reduction of stigma and discrimination. Findings suggest that improvements to optimize allied health care experiences of TGDNB individuals are indicated and feasible. Significant scope remains for patient-centered research to improve health care experiences for TGDNB individuals.
