Article in Journal of religion and 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
Little is known about the experience of family members and friends of transgender people in the Christian Church. This online questionnaire was targeted at Christian family members and friends of transgender individuals in Australia. Fifty-one participants responded to the questionnaire (Family n = 28; Friends n = 23). Responses given as free text were analysed according to grounded theory. Responses indicated that participant family and friends experienced significant challenges to their well-being as they accompanied the transgender individual. Respondents were committed to supporting their loved ones and were grieved by the rejection they observed affecting their transgender relatives and friends. The transition of the transgender person was experienced as a bereavement, particularly by family members, and was accompanied by confusion about how to rationalise this experience within their own theology. More work is needed to understand the challenges for Christian family and friends of transgender individuals and provide the support needed by family and friends of transgender people.
