1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents experience disproportionately higher rates of mental health concerns compared to cisgender adolescents. This paper compares the clinical and psychosocial risk profiles of TGD and cisgender adolescents seeking treatment for mental health concerns. Data was obtained from adolescents waiting for psychiatric care (age 12-17; N = 1362). Severity of mental disorder symptoms, substance use, self-harm, suicidal ideation, trauma experiences, and daily functioning were compared. TGD adolescents experienced significantly more symptoms of depression, anxiety and ADHD, self-harm, suicidal ideation and attempts and trauma experiences than cisgender peers. This data replicates previous findings that TGD adolescents experience greater psychopathology and psychosocial stressors than cisgender peers adding findings from a treatment seeking sample.
