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: Societal transphobia fuels alarmingly high rates of suicidality among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth. Short, animated storytelling (SAS) videos, aimed at scaling the lived experiences of TGD youth and their families, have proven effective for reducing transphobia, while protecting the identities of the narrators. Prior research raises questions about whether gender-matching of the narrator and the viewer could impact the effectiveness of these interventions. Methods: We recruited US parents, aged 18-50, via an online academic research platform and randomized them into three groups. The two intervention arms watched an SAS video conveying the lived experiences of either a father or a mother of a transgender child. The control group read educational materials about TGD youth. We used the Transgender Stigma Scale to measure transphobia at baseline, immediately post-exposure and 30 days later. Results: We analyzed data from 1229 participants. We found an immediate group-by-time effect ( Conclusions: This study highlights the potential for gender-matching to enhance the effectiveness of SAS, video interventions, aimed at reducing transphobia among parents.
