A scoping review of the lived experiences of gender diverse children and youth with disabilities.
Review in International journal of transgender 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
Background: Research exploring the lived experiences of gender diverse children and youth with disabilities is still in its infancy. Previous research has either focused on adults or has lumped the experiences of trans and nonbinary children and youth with disabilities in with broader findings of 2SLGBTQI + youth with disabilities. This is problematic given that experiences of sexual diversity are different than experiences of gender diversity and the experiences of children and youth are not identical to adults. Aims: We conducted a scoping review to map and synthesize research that explores the lived experiences of young people with disabilities who also identify as trans, nonbinary, or gender diverse. The question guiding the review was: what are the lived experiences of gender diverse children and youth with disabilities? Methods: We followed Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) best practices in scoping review methodology in addition to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. We searched seven databases: Ovid Medline, Healthstar, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts, and Web of Science for empirical peer-reviewed research. Results: We identified 21 articles that met our inclusion criteria, with an additional 2 articles found from other sources, resulting in 23 included articles. We organized the data in the available research into the following three overarching categories: (1) Experiences of discrimination and abuse; (2) Impact of minoritized identities on health; and (3) Coping strategies of, and interventions to support, gender minoritized youth with disabilities. Conclusions: Our review shows that gender diverse children and youth with disabilities are at increased risk of experiencing discrimination and abuse, which impacts their psychological well-being and quality of life. We conclude that this population requires increased opportunities to socialize in affirming and inclusive environments and greater supports for accessing social and medical transition.
