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

This case report presents a 38-year-old transgender woman, assigned male at birth, who presented with severe right flank pain associated with nausea and hematuria. After previously undergoing gender-affirming surgeries, including abdominoplasty, liposuction, breast augmentation, and reconstructive vaginal surgery, the patient developed bilateral ureteral and kidney stones leading to significant hydronephrosis. Bilateral double J insertion was performed following a computed tomography (CT) Uroscan. This was followed by flexible ureteroscopy and laser fragmentation of the stone bilaterally. The patient's anatomy was remarkable for the presence of neovagina and prostate. This case highlights the unique challenges and considerations in managing genitourinary complications in transgender individuals. The literature is limited in the Middle East concerning transgender individuals, hence the need to conduct further research and compile comprehensive case reports on transgender individuals in the Middle East in order to establish a robust database and draw meaningful epidemiological conclusions.
