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

People with gender dysphoria are becoming more prevalent and more universally accepted. Social, hormonal, and surgical gender transition are able to substantially improve their quality of life. Various gender affirmation surgery (GAS) options are available to address gender dysphoria in the male-to-female (MtF) population, including facial and chest feminization, body contouring,  and genital surgery. While hormone replacement therapy may result in some degree of breast development, it is often insufficient to effectively result in an adequate female-like breast contour. The creation of a female chest is generally the first surgical step in the transition. The primary aim of this manuscript is to describe the surgical technique with ergonomix round prostheses used at our high-volume GAS center and to point out how anatomical differences between trans-female and cis-female patients impact surgery. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the demographic data and postoperative outcomes.
