A systematic review of developments in mHealth smartphone applications for Transgender and Gender Diverse individuals.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals face significant healthcare barriers, resulting in inequities and unmet needs. Mobile health (mHealth) applications offer promising solutions by providing accessible, cost-effective, personalized, and gender-affirming care. This systematic review, conducted using PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the PICO framework, screened 5005 records from 4 databases and included 11 articles. The review aimed to identify key features of mHealth apps developed for TGD individuals, focusing on theoretical frameworks, design strategies, and their approaches to addressing healthcare barriers. Key challenges in developing mHealth apps include implementing systemic changes in healthcare settings to combat stigma and discrimination, grounding app development in TGD-specific theoretical frameworks, adequately addressing stressors and protective factors, and overcoming methodological limitations that hinder the evaluation of health outcomes. Overcoming these challenges requires rigorous research methodologies, inclusive designs, reliance on evidence-based TGD frameworks, and stronger collaboration among researchers, healthcare providers, and TGD communities.
