Unreasonable Expectations: A Call for Training and Educational Transparency in Gender-affirming Surgery.

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
Although in most areas of practice, there is a reasonable expectation that doctors are sufficiently trained to offer care, this is not true in the case of gender-affirming procedures, which are not required learning in any surgical residency. At the current time, the field of gender surgery is too rapidly evolving, with available resources too scarce for fellowship or residency training to be a realistic requirement for offering these procedures, as the demand already outstrips the available workforce. However, patients are currently given too little information about surgeons' history with these procedures to provide truly informed consent. There is, as such, an ethical mandate to mold the culture of gender-affirming surgery such that surgeons are expected to routinely disclose relevant information about their training, experience, and outcomes to facilitate patient decision-making about care.
