Ethnoracial inequities in social stressors and patterns of alcohol use in a population of United States transgender Veterans.
Article in Social science & medicine (1982), 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
backgroundDue to marginalization, transgender and people of color living in the United States (U.S.) experience disparities in social determinants of health and mental health outcomes. Evidence suggests that applying an intersectional analysis among U.S. transgender Veterans of color would reveal disparities in social stressors and alcohol use outcomes.
objectiveThis project sought to examine patterns of social stressors and alcohol use among ethnoracial groups of transgender Veterans receiving care in the Veterans Health Administration (VA).
methodsData from electronic health records of transgender Veterans receiving VA care from October 1, 2009 to July 31, 2017 were used to estimate prevalence of social stressors and patterns of unhealthy alcohol use for 6 ethnoracial groups. Additionally, we tested whether the number of social stressors mediated differences in diagnosed alcohol use disorder (AUD) among Black versus White transgender Veterans.
resultsTransgender Veterans of color had higher prevalence of social stressors and unhealthy alcohol use as compared to White transgender Veterans. For instance, 14.5 % of Black transgender Veterans had diagnosed AUD compared to 7.8 % of White transgender Veterans. Black transgender Veterans' greater exposure to social stressors partially explained their higher rates of AUD when compared with White transgender Veterans.
conclusionOur findings highlight the impact of social stressors on unhealthy alcohol use among transgender Veterans of color. They also suggest the need to monitor and address social stressors given the changing political environment in the U.S.
