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
This study adopts a critical autoethnographic approach to explore how a transgender teacher navigates structural violence and institutional erasure during gender transition within Taiwan's educational system, addressing a research gap on transgender educators in Asia. Through embodied narratives of administrative encounters, spatial exclusion, sexual harassment, and pedagogical tensions, the research reveals a disconnect between gender diversity legislation and the institutional inertia of school governance. Drawing on "administrative violence," "institutional diversity," and "gender performativity," it analyzes how everyday practices such as data fields, bathroom access, gendered evaluations, professional recognition, and harassment responses reproduce epistemic violence and marginalization. It further argues that non-normative embodiment, relational pedagogy, and affective labor serve as key strategies for reconfiguring teacher subjectivity and challenging dominant assumptions of a "qualified" educator. By highlighting the dual condition of visibility and vulnerability in classrooms, the research shows transgender teachers as not only victims but also agents of disruption and transformation.
