Meta-analysis on Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in transgender men and women versus cisgender men and women. Legend: Forest plots on transgender men and women vs. cisgender men and cisgender women with only the studies that reported EDE-Q scores. The pooled estimates have been computed with a random-effects model (because the fixed-effects and random-effects models are equivalent in the case of no heterogeneity). The global scores for Vocks et al. [48] were computed with the upper bound for the variance because only subscales are reported. Note that Peterson et al. [45] reported results only for pooled groups of cisgender individuals. The meta-analysis was conducted based on EDE-Q as the EDE-Q has a 28-day time frame which enables the instrument to identify the frequency of key ED behaviors opposite to other self-report instruments of ED (e.g. EAT and EDI; 30, 32)
