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

This study evaluated the psychometric performance and correlates of a 4-item GNSP scale among transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse (TGD) adults. Data were collected in 2019-2020 via an electronic, self-reported cross-sectional survey of 2192 TGD adults accessing two U.S. LGBTQ+ community health centers. Participants reporting sex within the past 6 months (60.7%, n = 1463) were asked the 4-item GNSP scale. Analyses were internal consistency reliability (α), confirmatory factor analysis, and a multivariable logistic regression model of GNSP scale correlates (adjusted odds ratios [AOR], 95% confidence intervals [95% CI]). Mean age was 27 years (range = 18-71 years), 18.7% were people of color, and 33.6% nonbinary. 42.7% reported past 6-month GNSP. The GNSP scale showed good reliability (α = 0.78) loaded onto a single factor (eigenvalue = 2.45; variance explained = 48.7%). Higher odds of reporting GNSP included nonbinary identity (AOR = 1.63; 95% CI 1.51, 1.70), more past 6-month sexual partners (AOR = 1.19; 95% CI 1.17-1.21), a cisgender woman sexual partner (AOR = 1.51; 95% CI 1.42-1.61), a high school degree or less (AOR = 1.43; 95% CI 1.28-1.59), elevated alcohol use (AOR = 1.55; 95% CI 1.46-1.65), severe psychological distress (AOR = 1.80; 95% CI 1.68-1.92), penile sex with a condom (AOR = 1.74; 95% CI 1.59-1.90) or without a condom (AOR = 1.38; 95% CI 1.28-1.49), and current PrEP use (AOR = 1.42; 95% CI 1.25-1.61). Lower odds of reporting GNSP included older age vs. ages 18-24 (AORs range 0.65-0.75), transfeminine identity (AOR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.80-0.94), uninsured (AOR = 0.56; 95% CI 0.48-0.60), and in committed relationships (AOR = 0.36; 95% CI 0.33-0.40) or ethically non-monogamous relationships (AOR = 0.38; 95% CI 0.35-0.43). Gender non-affirmation from sexual partners was highly prevalent and may represent important intervention targets for sexual and mental health. The GNSP scale demonstrated good psychometric properties and is a promising tool for future TGD research.
