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
Purpose: Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people are at an elevated risk for depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and family behaviors may contribute to or protect from these negative outcomes. The current study, therefore, aimed to assess whether (1) supportive and unsupportive family behaviors would predict depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms in TNB young adults and (2) the total number of supportive family behaviors would moderate the relationship between the number of unsupportive family behaviors and mental health. Methods: Participants were Results: All unsupportive family behaviors, except gender identity change efforts, were associated with greater depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. The total number of unsupportive behaviors continued to predict greater symptoms when controlling for relevant sociodemographic characteristics and the number of supportive family behaviors, as well as the interaction term in the depression model. However, supportive family behaviors did not predict mental health, and the total number of supportive behaviors did not moderate the relationship between the number of unsupportive behaviors and symptoms. Conclusion: Family transphobia was associated with greater depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms among TNB young adults, and family support was not sufficient to buffer these negative outcomes. Family-based programs should aim to prevent unsupportive family behaviors, and TNB people who have already been exposed to family transphobia should be targeted for intervention.
