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

Purpose: Hormone treatment (HT) is a cornerstone of gender-affirming therapy in transgender and gender nonconforming people. Nonbinary and genderqueer (NBGQ) people, individuals identifying outside the male to female binary, are increasingly recognized. Not all trans people and NBGQ individuals seek full HT. Current guidelines for HT of transgender and gender nonconforming people do not include specific regimens for NBGQ people who seek tailored treatment. We aimed to compare HT prescribed to NBGQ and binary trans people. Methods: We performed a retrospective study in 602 applicants for gender care in 2013-2015 at a referral clinic for gender dysphoria. Results: A total of 113 individuals identified as nonbinary and 489 as BT before the start of HT. NBGQ persons were less likely to receive conventional HT (82% vs. 92%, Conclusion: NBGQ individuals more often receive tailored HT compared with BT people. In the future, individualized endocrine counseling may further shape customized HT regimens for NBGQ individuals. For these purposes, qualitative and prospective studies are needed.
