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

backgroundTransgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals experience gender-related distal (i.e., discrimination, victimization, rejection, non-affirmation) and proximal (i.e., internalized transphobia, expectation of rejection, and identity nondisclosure) stressors, which increase their risk for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Yet, there is a paucity of research examining the prevalence, characteristics, and correlates of NSSI in TGD populations.

methodsA convenient sample of Hungarian TGD adults (N = 202; M = 29.60, SD = 10.27; 39.6% gender diverse individuals, 35.6% trans men, 24.8% trans women) took part in an online, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional survey. Gender minority stressors and several aspects of NSSI (i.e., prevalence, frequency, number of methods, and motivations) were assessed.

resultsResults showed a high lifetime (n = 142, 70.3%) and past-month (n = 48, 33.8%) prevalence of NSSI, with trans men (n = 55, 76.4%) and gender diverse individuals (n = 59, 73.8%) reporting higher lifetime prevalence than trans women (n = 28, 56.0%). Those who engaged in NSSI previously were significantly younger compared to those without NSSI. Structural equation model (SEM), examining the associations among gender minority stressors and functions of NSSI, revealed that proximal stressors mediated the link between distal stressors and intrapersonal functions of NSSI. Regarding interpersonal functions, neither distal nor proximal stressors were significant predictors.

conclusionsFindings suggest that trans men and gender diverse individuals, and younger TGD individuals are at greater risk for NSSI. Intrapersonal functions of NSSI and their potential association with proximal stressors should be carefully considered and assessed in clinical practice. Interventions targeting these specific associations should be developed and implemented to provide culturally sensitive care to TGD population.
