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

The prevalence of poor mental health among adolescents is high and increasing. Poor mental health is disproportionately high among transgender and gender-diverse adolescents. This research seeks to understand potential risk factors and reasons for this disproportionality by examining the relationship between social experiences and mental health among gender-diverse youth. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data collected via student health surveys administered by the Communities that Care Coalition of Western Massachusetts in 2023 to n = 1,439 high-school students in Franklin County, Massachusetts. Transgender and gender-diverse adolescents reported significantly adjusted higher rates of poor mental health. Associations between gender identity and this disproportionate risk of poor mental health were strongly modified by experiences of bullying and social support. Addressing victimization and social support may help reduce these outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse youth.
