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

purposeTo examine provider perceptions of practice behaviors and barriers related to fertility counseling, fertility preservation, and family building among transgender patients.

methodsParticipants were medical and mental health professionals who treat adult and youth transgender patients. Recruitment occurred online and in person, via professional listservs for transgender professionals, conferences, and gender clinics. From August-November 2017, 110 participants representing nine countries responded to four open-ended questions included on a survey related to provider practice behaviors and perceived barriers to fertility counseling, fertility preservation, and family building with transgender patients. Thematic coding analysis was used to identify themes.

resultsMultiple themes were identified including the following: access and cost issues; urgency for gender-affirming treatment; patient maturity and inability to make future-oriented decisions; and provider-related challenges pertaining to knowledge, role, and general lack of information in the nascent field of transgender reproductive health. CONCLUSION(S): This study yielded insights into practice behaviors, challenges, and perceived barriers to fertility counseling with transgender individuals and can serve as a basis for intervention development to optimize clinical practices with this population.
