Cardiometabolic Parameters Among Transgender Adolescent Males on Testosterone Therapy and Body Mass Index-Matched Cisgender Females.
Article in Transgender health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Limited data are available on changes in metabolic parameters in transgender youth on testosterone therapy in comparison with cisgender females. Data from 42 transgender males on testosterone therapy were retrospectively analyzed. Body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile changes were compared with BMI-matched females. There was a significant increase in BMI over time in the transgender males as compared with the cisgender females, and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein in the transgender males after starting testosterone therapy. Longitudinal prospective studies with cisgender controls are needed to better define effects of testosterone therapy in adolescents.
