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
Background: Previous research has highlighted that youth gender dysphoria (GD) and gender diversity (GDI) are experienced in unique ways by different family members, with youth outcomes significantly influenced by family support and understanding. Few studies on a national level have explored individual family member experiences, specifically family, social and healthcare experiences, involving young people, parent/carers and siblings. Aims: Using an online survey incorporating circular questioning, this study sought to discover individual family member experiences of youth GD/GDI in Australia, within a family, healthcare, and social context. Methods: Young people experiencing GD/GDI, parents/carers and siblings were recruited through Facebook advertising and completed an online survey, exploring positive and negative experiences of youth GD/GDI, within and outside of the family. Survey questions predominantly used Likert scales, with free-text fields, enabling both quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Results: Six hundred and sixty young people aged 12-17 years experiencing GD/GDI, 158 parents/carers ranging in age from under 30 years to more than 60 years (most common age band was 40-49 years; 62%), and 40 siblings aged 12-17 years completed at least part of the online survey. Participants reported mixed experiences of youth GD/GDI with varying levels of understanding and support provided by family members and others. Parents and siblings generally felt it important for healthcare professionals to ask everyone's experience in the family, although only one-third of young people felt this was important. Most parents and young people also highlighted the importance of sibling support. Conclusion: The majority of young people felt misunderstood by other family members. Most family members, particularly young people, reported different viewpoints within families and primarily negative experiences. The research findings support sibling inclusion in healthcare appointments in certain circumstances, depending on context, and a whole of family approach overall, if agreeable to the family and unlikely to cause harm.
