1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2017–2022 we estimated adjusted and unadjusted differences in self-reported number of poor mental health days (past month) between gender minority (GM) and cisgender adults. We document that the disparity is largest among younger individuals. Among 18- to 23-year-olds, GM adults report on average 14.5 days of poor mental health, compared to 6.3 days for cisgender individuals, yielding an unadjusted disparity of 8.2 days [95% CI: 7.15, 9.24]. This disparity decreases with age – among people over the age of 73, the observed difference was 1.7 days [95% CI: 0.13, 3.27].
