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

Purpose: Telemedicine holds potential to improve access to gender-affirming care for gender-diverse youth (GDY), but little is known about youth's perspectives regarding its use. The purpose of this study was to explore GDY's experiences and satisfaction with telemedicine for gender-affirming care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An online, cross-sectional survey was completed by 12-17-year-old GDY after a telemedicine gender clinic visit. Demographic characteristics, responses to a 12-item telemedicine satisfaction scale, and items assessing interest in future telemedicine use were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Open-ended items exploring GDY's experiences were coded qualitatively to identify key themes. Results: Participants' ( Conclusions: Despite their preference for in-person visits, a majority of GDY were satisfied and comfortable with telemedicine, and expressed their interest in continuing to have telemedicine as an option for care. Pediatric gender care providers should continue services through telemedicine while implementing protocols related to privacy and hesitation regarding camera use. While adolescents may find telemedicine acceptable, it remains unclear whether telemedicine can improve access to gender-affirming care.
