Physical activity differences in trans and non-binary people: the role of health, social, and legal barriers.
Article in European journal of public health, 2026. 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
Trans and non-binary individuals are particularly vulnerable to discrimination in public spaces, workplaces, housing, and healthcare. The exclusion they experience also affects their participation in physical activity (PA). This study aimed to estimate the proportion of trans and non-binary individuals living in Spain that engage in PA several times per week and to explore potential associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 1473 participants aged 15 or older, recruited between October 2023 and March 2024 through an online national survey on trans and non-binary health. PA engagement was estimated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). A Poisson regression model with robust variance was used to identify associated factors, obtaining adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) with 95% CI. Overall, 23.2% (95% CI: 21.1%-25.5%) reported engaging in PA several times per week. In the adjusted analysis, PA was less common among trans women (aPR = 0.46, 95% CI 0.35-0.62) and non-binary individuals (aPR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.52-0.85) compared to transmasculine individuals. Lower PA levels were also observed in those unable to legally change their name due to barriers (aPR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.97), and those with mental health issues in the past year (aPR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.62-0.93). Higher PA participation was associated with being ≥29 years old (aPR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.08-1.84) and better self-perceived health (aPR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.65). Trans women and non-binary individuals engage in PA less frequently. Sociodemographic factors, health, and legal barriers significantly impact PA participation. Policies should encourage PA, especially among young trans individuals, and ensure equitable and discrimination-free access.
