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

Recently, with discriminatory legislation efforts and changing participation policies in organized sports, media attention surrounding transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals has increased. These changes and the historical lack of competence and education regarding the transgender patient population have resulted in subpar patient care and a misunderstanding of the athletic trainer's (AT's) role within the health care and compliance systems. This literature review is the second part of a 2-paper series, and our objective was to educate ATs on the processes relevant to medical affirmation, including compliance considerations regarding medical eligibility, and to establish the AT's role. The gender affirmation framework includes social and legal components, which are discussed in part 1 of this literature, and the medical component is thoroughly discussed in part 2. All health care providers involved in the care of TGD individuals should work collaboratively on an interprofessional care team and have a general knowledge of the gender-affirmation process, including gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgical options, known risks and complications, and the general health needs of TGD patients. With this knowledge, ATs, as point-of-care providers and members of the interprofessional care team, are uniquely positioned to help reduce health and health care disparities. Furthermore, ATs can use their knowledge to facilitate medical compliance and eligibility in the evolving policies of sporting organizations.
