Subjective personal and collective benefits of alcohol use in UK trans and gender diverse communities: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford, Oxfordshire), 2025. 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
aimsThis study sought to understand the subjective individual and collective benefits of alcohol use for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people in the UK.
methodsA cross-sectional survey, co-produced with a TGD community advisory group, was open for responses from 1 February until 31 March 2022. Respondents were UK-based TGD adults who reported current or historical alcohol use. Those included in this sub-sample (n = 295) provided a valid response to one of two open-ended questions (OQ) concerning the subjective benefits of alcohol to TGD individuals (OQ1) and the perceived role of alcohol in UK TGD communities (OQ2). Data from these questions were collated (n = 455 responses) and coded using thematic analysis.
resultsAn overarching theme was identified, 'belonging', under which two themes were developed to answer each question. For individuals, alcohol enhanced intimacy and relieved pain, and was described to have a role in bringing the TGD community together and facilitating gender exploration and affirmation.
conclusionTGD people experience a range of benefits from using alcohol, attributable to its anxiolytic and analgesic properties. Many respondents felt alcohol had a specific role in their communities, associated with the relative safety of alcohol-serving venues for TGD people.
