Queering Studies of Health and Bodily Experience: An Example From the Transgender Resilience and Health Study.

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
objectivesBiological anthropologists have contributed significantly to our understanding of how lived experiences become embodied, affecting health. However, there has been less emphasis on bodily symptoms as an important aspect of health and well-being impacted by lived experiences. Informed by queer and Black feminist approaches, we investigate the effects of stigma, stress, and support on transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people's bodily symptoms. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing baseline survey data from a longitudinal study of TNB people's health and resilience in the United States collected during fall 2019-spring 2020, we assessed the relationships between past year and lifetime enacted stigma, perceived stress, and bodily symptoms among 158 TNB people living in Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, and Tennessee. Potential moderating factors were support from family and friends, resilience, gender identity, and racial identity.
resultsPast year and lifetime enacted stigma and perceived stress were positively associated with bodily symptoms, whereas increased resilience and perceived support from family were associated with decreased bodily symptoms. However, chosen family support was not associated with bodily symptoms. The positive effects of resilience on health were independent of the negative effects of enacted stigma on bodily symptoms. Nonbinary people and TNB people of color experienced more severe bodily symptoms. DISCUSSION: TNB people's lived experiences of the body reflect complex relationships between stigma, stress, resilience, and social supports, and vary by social position. Results emphasize the need to incorporate queer feminist perspectives of the body into biocultural conceptualizations and studies of health and embodiment.
