<p>They found that often only sex- referring biological sex assigned at birth- was reported.  They found that the terms male/female as opposed to man/woman were the primary designations used, and a vast majority of studies and journals significantly underreported transgender, intersex and nonbinary demographics. </p>
<p>This study reinforces the need for more accurate reporting of SOGi data in research studies, to improve the equity of this patient population in up and coming research</p>
