Management of transgender patients in critical care.
Article in Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
As clinicians working in critical care, it is our duty to provide all of our patients with the high-quality care they deserve, regardless of their gender identity. The transgender community continues to suffer discrimination from the media, politicians and general public. As healthcare workers we often pride ourselves on our ability to safely care for all patients. However, there remains a distinct lack of understanding surrounding the care of critically ill transgender patients. This is likely in part because the specific care of transgender patients is not included in the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine's, Royal College of Anaesthetists', Royal College of Physician's, or Royal College of Emergency Medicine's curriculum. There are several important considerations relevant for transgender patients in critical care including anatomical changes to the airway, alterations to respiratory and cardiovascular physiology and management of hormone therapy. Alongside this, there are simple but important social factors that exist, such as the use of patient pronouns and ensuring admittance to correctly gendered wards. In this review we will address the key points relevant to the care of transgender patients in critical care and provide suggestions on how education on the subject may be improved.
