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

The psychosocial needs and experiences of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people is an understudied area of oncology research. In response to calls to action from past researchers, we conducted a scoping review, which included published and gray literature. From the included articles, the following key themes were identified: (1) lack of coordination between gender-affirming care and cancer care; (2) impact of cancer care on gender affirmation; (3) navigating gendered assumptions; (4) variation in providers' understanding of the needs of TGD patients; and (5) lack of TGD-specific cancer resources. Following this review, we consulted 18 key stakeholders with TGD-relevant personal and/or professional experience to gain further insight into issues that were not encompassed by the original themes. Based on these themes and stakeholder feedback, we offer recommendations for future research and clinical practice to increase awareness of the psychosocial needs of TGD people who have been diagnosed with cancer and to improve patient care.
