Telemedicine for Gender-Affirming Medical and Surgical Care: A Systematic Review and Call-to-Action.
Review in Transgender health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Telemedicine has facilitated the delivery of affordable and accessible health care. However, little has been discussed about its use in gender-affirming care (GAC). Telemedicine has the potential to overcome many barriers encountered by transgender individuals such as limited geographic access to care and financial constraints, which have both been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine may also enhance opportunities for training in gender-affirming surgery. A systematic review of the literature on telehealth and GAC was performed. Identified uses of telehealth included: an electronic teleconsultation service, a virtual peer health consultation service, and an open online course on LGBT+ rights and health care for health care providers and laypeople. As the medical and health care communities adjust to the new reality of health care, efforts should be made to effectively incorporate telemedicine into GAC.
