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: Although medical care for transgender and gender nonbinary (TGNB) individuals is rapidly expanding, numerous gaps in the organization of quality care for TGNB individuals remain. In 2018, the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery (CTMS) expanded its unified care approach to integrate services with an interdisciplinary inpatient team for surgical patients as part of the program. The inpatient team connected with the existing interdisciplinary ambulatory team with all pertinent medical and psychosocial information shared between the teams. The format enabled the hospital team to better prepare in advance of a patient's arrival and facilitated discharge planning as well. We sought to assess patient satisfaction with inpatient care after implementation of the interdisciplinary operation. Methods: The standard Press Ganey survey tool used by the Mount Sinai Health System to measure patient satisfaction with care was queried before and after implementation of the interdisciplinary inpatient care team. Results: Patient ratings of inpatient care rose dramatically. Relative to other institutions nationally, Press Ganey scores rose into the 98th or 99th percentiles across all domains. The new scores represented a rise of 25% for communication with nurses, 3% for hospital environment, 25% for care transition, and 100% for willingness to recommend. The discharge information score represented a 30-fold improvement. Conclusion: An interdisciplinary inpatient health care team can significantly improve patient satisfaction for TGNB patients. Such an approach might be considered for other TGNB health care programs along with health care delivery in other areas of medicine.
