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

For decades, Thailand has been at the forefront of sex reassignment surgeries. The neovagina created by recto-sigmoid vaginoplasty is much more complex procedure when compared with penile skin version technique, but yielded more satisfactory functional outcomes. We reported an unusual case of life-threatening small bowel obstruction following previously successful recto-sigmoid vaginoplasty in a transgender woman. Transgender individuals have unique healthcare needs. However, various gaps still exist to provide multi-disciplinary care for these patients. The rate of adhesive small bowel obstruction is highest in the early period of any intra-abdominal post-operative surgeries, but the risk remains life-long. Transgender women receiving complicated vaginoplasty should be instructed to continue long-term follow-up to ensure early detection and management of post-operative complications.
