Experiences of Transgender Women with Speech Feminization Training: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study investigated the experiences of transgender women after following sessions for speech feminization using semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Transgender women who completed a clinical trial were invited for an interview and 12 accepted the invitation. Interviews were conducted using an interview guide and were recorded and transcribed verbatim. NVivo 12 was used for qualitative data analysis, applying an inductive thematic approach. Four main themes were identified: communication, therapy experiences, impact on mental health, and external factors associated with the outcomes. For most participants, fear of speaking in public decreased after the training and all participants mentioned improved vocal characteristics. Though, reactions ranged from needing more speech therapy to being satisfied with the results. Coping strategies during misgendering occasions differed a lot between participants. More emotive counseling during speech feminization sessions is necessary to help clients in managing possible negative emotions.
