Gender minority stress, resilience, and coping experiences of trans women incarcerated in Australia.
Article 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. 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 and Aim: Trans women in carceral settings are an identified "priority group" due to the significant stigma, discrimination, violence, sexual assault, harassment, and mistreatment they experience, resulting in a substantial mental health disparity compared to the general incarcerated population. In Australia, most incarceration settings continue to segregate persons based on their genitalia (i.e. sex characteristics) as opposed to their gender. This paper seeks to explore the ways in which trans management and housing policies in Australia effect and affect their experiences of psychological distress and the development of unique coping mechanisms, agency and resilience skills. Methods: Drawing upon the lived experiences of five formerly incarcerated trans women in Australia, and employing Testa, Habarth, Peta, Balsam and Bockting's Results: Through both inductive and deductive thematic analyses two themes were developed: (1) harms and stressors and (2) survival strategies. The two opposing themes demonstrate the harms and stressors experienced by incarcerated trans women as well as the survival strategies adopted by those women in order not only to negotiate the carceral system, but to build resilience within it. The second theme of survival strategies offer novel insights to the current trans carceral debate and reflects a focus on viewing incarcerated trans women as agentic, rather than merely victims of an oppressive and subjugating system. Conclusions: This analysis contributes new and nuanced understandings of how trans women incarcerated in Australia use unique coping mechanisms and displays of resilience and agency to navigate carceral settings.
