Training gaps in trans and nonbinary health: Perspectives of resident physicians in Argentina.
Article in PLOS global 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
INTRODUCTION AND
aimsA growing number of individuals identify as transgender and nonbinary (TNB), yet most healthcare professionals are not adequately prepared to address their health needs. Providers' training is crucial to ensuring accessible, evidence-based care, and medical school and residency programs are a critical period to develop such knowledge and skills. Thus, we aimed to explore resident physicians' perspectives on their training and competence caring for TNB individuals at a university hospital in Argentina. We conducted a cross-sectional study, between May and September 2024, among clinical and surgical residents. An anonymous questionnaire collected quantitative and qualitative data on training experiences, perceived competence, and comfort levels in caring for TNB patients. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were applied. A total of 173 residents participated; 89% completed undergraduate studies in Argentina, and 60% attended public universities. Only 24% felt adequately trained during medical school. Although 69% had treated TNB patients during residency, 54% thought their training was insufficient. Despite 84% feeling comfortable providing care, only 48% perceived themselves as competent. Notably, 84% agreed with the importance of education in TNB health, highlighting the need for comprehensive training, improved quality of care, and ensuring equity. These findings indicate that TNB health education remains insufficient across medical training programs in Argentina. There is a critical discrepancy between residents' comfort and perceived competence in caring for TNB people. Participants recognized this gap and expressed strong support for enhanced curricular inclusion. Strengthening these educational foundations is key to transforming motivation into meaningful capability to advance equitable, affirming care across Argentina and Latin America.
