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

This study used qualitative and daily diary methods to identify queer and transgender joy (i.e., positive identity-related factors) in the daily lives of a racially diverse sample of sexual and gender minority adolescents (SGMA). A total of 94 SGMA completed a 21-day daily diary study, which asked an open-ended question related to participants' positive identity-related experiences. A total of 1,629 entries were qualitatively coded and analyzed through content analysis, leading to the emergence of several themes: 1) social support, 2) romantic and sexual relationships, 3) connections to the LGBTQ+ community, 4) exploring and disclosing identity, and 5) gender expression and affirmation. Gender affirmation, media representation, and LGBTQ+ peer support emerged as particular themes of interest that have previously been understudied in the literature. Frequency of some themes varied by gender identity and race and ethnicity. As prior research largely focuses on minority stress in SGMA, findings underscore examining and leveraging adolescent-focused resilience and resistance factors, such as queer and transgender joy, in future research and interventions.
