Sociodemographics of Patient Populations Undergoing Gender-Affirming Surgery: A Systematic Review of All Cohort Studies.
Review in Transgender health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Importance: Sociodemographic and health characteristics of patients undergoing gender-affirming surgery (GAS) are currently unknown. Understanding these patient characteristics is vital to optimizing patient-centered care for transgender patients. Objective: To determine sociodemographic characteristics for the transgender population undergoing GAS. Collected sociodemographic information included the following: age, race/ethnicity, body metrics, hormone replacement therapy administration and duration, substance use, psychiatric comorbidities, and medical comorbidities. Evidence Review: A search of seven electronic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Gender Studies) was used to find all articles on GAS from inception through May 2019. The 15,190 articles were then subjected to two levels of screening, and articles unrelated to gender-affirming care, unavailable in English, Findings: A total of 406 studies were fully extracted, with 307 studies reporting age ( Conclusions and Relevance: The type of sociodemographic information reported by GAS studies is inconsistently reported. To improve patient-centered care for transgender patients, further work is needed to create a standardization of collected sociodemographic information.
