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

Objective: To report a novel case of semen cryopreservation after testicular sperm extraction in an adolescent transgender female without cessation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist therapy and feminizing hormone therapy. Methods: This is a case report of a 16-year-old transgender female using leuprolide acetate for 4 years and estradiol for 3 years requesting semen cryopreservation at the time of gender-affirming orchiectomy. She desired to proceed without cessation of gender affirming hormone therapy. The patient's consent was obtained for written publication. Results: The patient underwent testicular sperm extraction followed by orchiectomy. The sample was processed and cryopreserved in a 1:1 Test Yolk Buffer. Multiple early and late spermatids were identified as well as spermatagonium in the TESE specimen. Conclusions: Advanced spermatogenesis may occur in the presence of a GnRH agonist. Cessation of GnRH agonist therapy may not be essential for semen cryopreservation in adolescent transgender females.
