Cohort Change in Attitudes About Adolescent Gender Transitions Between 2018 and 2025.
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 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
Medical gender transition for adolescents who identify as transgender is a contentious topic. The previous research evaluated data from respondents interviewed in 2018 and examined predictors of support for adolescent hormonal and surgical transitioning. Nevertheless, much has changed in public debates since that time. The present study evaluates data from a 2025 nationally representative survey which fielded a series of questions identical to those posed in 2018 in order to examine changes in attitudes among English-speaking American adults about gender dysphoric adolescents medically transitioning for the purpose of gender affirmation. Results indicate significant decreases in support between 2018 and 2025 for such medical transitioning. We examine cross-sectional, period changes, and changes within birth cohorts. Significant increases in disagreement with medical transitioning appear for all age cohorts born in 1988 or earlier. Given this changing landscape, we reexamine predictors of support for adolescent medical transition.
