Conceptual approach to developing quality measures for transgender patients.
Article in BMC health services research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundValid and reliable quality measures can help catalyze improvements in health care. The care of transgender patients is ripe for quality measurement, as there is increasing awareness of the increasing prevalence of this population and the urgency of improving the health care they receive. While best practices may not exist for some aspects of transgender health care, other aspects are characterized by well-developed and highly evidence-based recommendations. Our objective was to create a list of potential quality measures for transgender care. METHODS AND
resultsIn consultation with our advisory panel, which consisted of clinical and academic experts in transgender medicine, we selected eight prominent clinical practice guidelines of transgender health care for review. Our four team investigators carefully reviewed all eight clinical practice guidelines. Through the course of multiple consensus-building meetings, we iteratively refined items until we had agreed upon a list of forty potential quality measures, all of which met the criteria for quality measures set forth in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Blueprint for developing quality measures.
conclusionsThis manuscript explains the origin of the quality measures we developed, and also provides a useful roadmap to any group hoping to develop quality measures for a field that has not previously had any.
