Current use of testosterone therapy in LGBTQ populations.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Testosterone therapy (TT) is a type of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and genderqueer (LGBTQ) populations for gender dysphoria (GD), body uneasiness, and sexual dysfunction. The physical and physiological effects of TT vary widely depending on the dosing regimen and duration of treatment. An individualized approach prioritizing patient-specific desired effects in the context of pre-existing characteristics and health history is strongly recommended. Although TT is an effective treatment for many patients, there has been an increase in the illegitimate acquisition of TT in recent years. Non-judicious prescribing and lack of physician surveillance increases the risk of unintended side effects and potential serious health consequences.
