Knowledge of transgender and gender-diverse healthcare among resident physicians: A study in a northeastern Brazilian tertiary hospital.
Observational study in Archives of endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTransgender and gender-diverse (TGD) refers to people whose gender identity does not correspond to the sex assigned to them at birth. This study evaluated the knowledge of medical residents at a tertiary hospital in northeastern Brazil regarding healthcare for the TGD population. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional, single-center observational study surveyed medical residents at a tertiary hospital in northeastern Brazil in 2023. It utilized a self-developed online questionnaire, which residents completed voluntarily and anonymously. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analyses, and multivariate logistic regression were applied to the data.
resultsA total of 107 residents completed the questionnaire (40.83% of the eligible cohort); most were clinicians (69.15%). All participants identified as cisgender. Nearly all participants considered it important to understand healthcare for TGD patients. About half reported prior education on the topic; gynecology, obstetrics, and endocrinology residents (specialists) demonstrated the highest rates (p = 0.0009). Approximately 40% of the participants were unaware of where to refer TGD people for specialized care in hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries (p = 0.007). Lack of experience (p = 0.002) was the primary reason among the 30 residents who felt insecure about providing healthcare to TGD patients.
conclusionResidents acknowledge the importance of this field in their practice but demonstrate a lack of specific knowledge and prior education.
