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

Background: In-depth quantitative study of how young people undertake social transition is lacking. We aimed to provide a comprehensive profile of social transition among young people accessing gender-affirming care. Methods: In this cross-sectional study ( Results: The vast majority expressed preferences to socially transition by changing their presentation (96.0%), name (89.6%), and/or pronouns (94.3%). Compared to presentation (74.4%), fewer young people had changed their name (45.8%) or pronouns (44.1%) across all the examined contexts. Social transition was most commonly observed either online or with friends, with home and school being less common contexts, and extended family the least likely context in which to observe change. Overall, there were 129 unique patterns of social transition across contexts, highlighting the heterogeneous nature of social transition. Most young people reported being concerned about socially transitioning (88.8%), with the most prevalent concerns related to bullying, prejudice or discrimination (59.5%). Discussion: Young trans people show a complex profile of social transition that is context-dependent and likely reflects differences in underlying levels of safety and support. Understanding these nuanced patterns of social transition is necessary to improve clinical care and develop relevant policies and guidelines.
