Socio-Demographic and Health Data of Adolescents Identifying as Transgender or Gender Diverse in the Born in Bradford's Age of Wonder Cohort.
Article in Wellcome open research, 2025. 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
Background: The number of adolescents identifying as Transgender and Gender Diverse (TGD) are thought to be growing. However, robust data detailing the rates for self-identification is lacking for those under 16 years of age. Moreover, there are few studies which have characterised the socio-demographic and health information of this community to inform service planning. The current study reports the proportion of 12 to 15 years olds within an ethnically diverse population cohort dataset who were classified as TGD, as well as their socio-demographic and health profile. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using the Born in Bradford, Age of Wonder cohort dataset. This includes 4,954 adolescents from 15 schools in the Bradford District (UK). Data were provided on adolescents' assigned sex at birth and gender identity, other socio-demographic variables, and health proxies (e.g. anxiety and depression symptoms) which were stratified by those who were categorised as TGD and those as cisgender. Results: Of the sample, 1.43% identified as TGD. There was a higher frequency of individuals identifying as a transgender boy (female assigned sex; 0.46%) and nonbinary (female assigned sex; 0.53%) compared to transgender girls (male assigned sex; 0.19%) and nonbinary (male assigned sex; 0.22%). The TGD group were more likely to be from a White ethnicity background, have no practiced religion, have access to free school meals, have special educational needs (SEN), and self-report the presence of physical or mental illness. TGD young people also scored significantly higher on anxiety and depression symptoms. There were no significant differences between groups in age indices, country of birth, or national deprivation quartiles. Conclusions: This study provides an insight into the socio-demographic composition of the TGD group compared to cisgender group, within this population cohort dataset. This study also suggests increased health inequalities within TGD populations compared to cisgender populations.
