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: This study sought to replicate and expand a previous pilot investigation of reproductive knowledge, attitudes toward fertility and parenthood, and sources of information on these topics among transgender and gender-expansive (TGE) youth. Methods: The Yale Pediatric Gender Program (YPGP) Reproductive Knowledge and Experiences Survey (YPGP-RKES) was administered to 70 TGE adolescents receiving care at an interdisciplinary clinic providing gender-affirming health care at an academic medical center. Data gathered included sources of information on reproduction and fertility, concerns about future parenthood and reproduction, and interest in different types of parenthood. Results: Over a third (39.1%) of participants reported it was important to them to have a child one day, while only a small proportion (23.2%) reported an interest in biological parenthood. A plurality of participants (37.3%) reported at least one concern about future fertility. The number of reproductive concerns did not differ by age or treatment (puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones vs. no treatment) status. With respect to needs for more information and sources of information, most (56.5%) participants received information about fertility issues before this study, with the most cited source of information being online research. Conclusions: The current study replicated and extended previous findings on the reproductive attitudes and knowledge of TGE adolescents. Understanding the informational needs and priorities of adolescent TGE patients presenting for medical treatment will allow providers to give more robust patient education. This will, in turn, facilitate patients' ability to provide fully informed consent for treatment that aligns with their fertility and reproductive priorities and goals.
