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

purposeSuicide is a critical public health concern, particularly among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals The current study aims to identify structural and interpersonal barriers as well as protective factors that impact suicide risk among transgender and gender diverse adults.

methodsThe currently analyses utilize the TransPop dataset, the first national probability sample of 274 adult transgender adults in the United States. Elastic net regression was used to examine the relationships between the set of 17 healthcare predictor variables and STB outcome variables.

resultsWorries about negative evaluation from healthcare providers emerged as highly important variables across STB outcomes. Inability to access healthcare due to the cost of seeing a doctor was associated with increased suicide plans. Having insurance was associated with decreased odds of suicidal ideation with intent.

conclusionsThere is a need for increased supportiveness and acceptance from healthcare providers as well as a need to ensure that TGD individuals have access to high-quality mental and physical healthcare.
