1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNon-binary youth has been described as a particularly vulnerable group, facing unique challenges regarding their health and lifestyle. It is urgent to identify these challenges and to promote well-being in this population. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: This study aimed to analyze gender differences in health and lifestyles in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. It is part of the Cuida-te+ Program of the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ, I.P.), which aims to promote the health and lifestyles of young people aged 12 to 25. This program includes Mobile Units, which consist of awareness-raising actions in places where there is a significant presence of the target population (i.e., schools). To assess the mentioned indicators, a questionnaire was shared at the end of these actions.

resultsThe results showed no significant differences when comparing binary and non-binary genders, regarding life satisfaction and the practice of physical activity, smoking, inebriation, general drug use, screen time, and hours of sleep. However, in other areas, non-binary people reported worse results compared to their peers. Namely, they reported poorer eating habits, more frequent lifetime alcohol consumption, and use of some types of illegal drugs (e.g., LSD), less use of screen time for the purpose of studying, working and/or researching, more arguments with family, friends and/or partner, more often not sleeping enough, and more negative results regarding health and well-being (e.g., more symptoms of sadness and exhaustion).

conclusionsThese results highlight the importance of monitoring and creating adjusted responses, tailored to the needs of non-binary youth.
