Mental Health Impacts of Weight-Based Denial from Gender-Affirming Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of gay & lesbian mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: High body mass index (BMI) can be a barrier to accessing gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Method: This case report discusses the mental health implications of being denied GAS based on BMI in a transgender woman presenting to psychiatric care integrated with primary care. Subsequently, we summarize existing literature regarding GAS and mental health. Result: Existing literature on GAS outcomes robustly demonstrates the mental health benefits of undergoing desired GAS and does not support using BMI to determine surgical candidacy. Conclusion: This case highlights why psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians should be concerned about BMI serving as a barrier to our patients accessing GAS.
