Experiences of disordered eating and exercise behaviors of neurodivergent, gender diverse youth: A scoping review.
Review in International journal of transgender health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: Research shows that both gender diverse youth and neurodivergent youth are at an increased risk of engaging in disordered eating behavior or developing feeding and eating disorders, yet little is known about eating disorders in youth who are both gender diverse Method: A scoping review was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for scoping reviews and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. We searched Embase, Healthstar, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant articles. Results: 31 articles from our searches met inclusion criteria. An additional five articles were found from reference lists of included articles, for a total of 36 articles. Following best practices for reporting for scoping reviews, we used a basic qualitative content analysis to organize the findings into the following three broad categories: (1) Rates and severity of feeding and eating disorders and neurodivergence of gender diverse youth; (2) Factors contributing to feeding and eating disorder or disordered eating behavior development in gender diverse, neurodivergent youth; and (3) Treatment outcomes. Discussion: Gender diverse, neurodivergent youth are at increased risk of developing feeding and eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors. Experiences of gender dysphoria, cognitive differences, and minority stress may contribute to this increased risk. While access to gender-affirming care is a necessary component of treatment, it does not appear to be sufficient for resolving feeding and eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors in this population.
