Mental health changes in partners of transgender and gender nonconforming individuals as a result of partner gender transition: What about me?
Article in International journal of transgender health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: Research on the psychosocial impact of gender transitioning on partners of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals is scarce in the literature. Here, we assessed mental health in partners of TGNC individuals. Methods: Anonymous surveys were administered Results: Of the 337 study respondents, 42.4% were assigned male, 57.6% assigned female (43.9% identify as male; 55.8% as female) and 1.76% nonbinary, with a mean age of 35.8. 44.4% had partners who are transgender women, while a third (36.8%) had partners who are transgender men, 7.7% from assigned male to nonbinary, and 11.2% from assigned female to nonbinary. Most (72.4%) partners underwent surgical transitioning (15.1% top surgery; 5.6% bottom; 51.6% both) versus 27.6% non-surgical transitioning. PHQ-8, SEAR, confidence, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, and resilience scores were higher among respondents whose partners underwent surgical transitioning ( Conclusion: Partner mental health and relationship satisfaction were most impacted by surgical transitioning of their TGNC partner. Supportive services for partners of TGNC individuals during the transition process to protect these romantic relationships should be considered.
