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

purpose of reviewThis review summarizes recent developments in gender affirmation surgery, imaging findings in patients undergoing these surgeries, focusing on common postoperative radiologic appearances, complications, and pitfalls in interpretation. RECENT

findingsThe imaging workup of masculinizing and feminizing genitourinary surgeries uses multiple modalities in presurgical planning and within the immediate and long-term postoperative period. CT and MRI can help identify immediate and remote postoperative complications. Fluoroscopic examinations can diagnose postoperative urethral complications after gender affirmation surgeries. Lastly, the patients can undergo imaging for unrelated acute and chronic pathology, and knowledge of these imaging findings can be very helpful. Imaging plays a significant role in the care of transgender patients and, particularly, in those pursuing gender affirmation surgery. As insurance coverage expands for these surgical procedures, radiologists should be prepared to encounter, understand, and interpret pre and postoperative findings.
