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
backgroundDespite a growing body of research on transgender mental health, the role of resilience in shaping psychological outcomes associated with gender dysphoria remains underexplored. This study sought to examine the prevalence of gender dysphoria and levels of psychological distress among Vietnamese transgender individuals, and investigate the associations between these variables, with particular attention to the potential moderating role of resilience. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: A sample of 347 Vietnamese transgender individuals aged 16 to 44 (
resultsThe mean scores for gender dysphoria and psychological distress were 64.96 and 25.50, respectively. Lower gender dysphoria was reported among younger, nonbinary, bisexual individuals and participants with no intention for gender-affirming interventions, lower income, non-disclosure, or no involvement in transgender support groups. Higher psychological distress was found in those who planned to undergo gender-affirming interventions and who had not come out. Gender dysphoria was positively correlated with psychological distress, but this relationship was attenuated among individuals with higher resilience.
conclusionsThese findings underscore significant mental health challenges among transgender individuals in Vietnam. The moderating role of resilience suggests that enhancing resilience may buffer the negative impact of gender dysphoria on psychological well-being. Interventions promoting resilience might therefore represent a valuable approach to supporting transgender mental health.
