Improving the forensic genital examination for trans and gender diverse sexual assault complainants: three case reports.
Review in International journal of legal medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Trans and gender diverse people experience high rates of sexual violence and significant barriers to healthcare, including post-sexual assault healthcare. These barriers could lead to delays in presentations to sexual assault services and a reluctance to having forensic examinations, thereby impacting genital injury assessment and evidence collection. It is therefore important that clinicians working in sexual assault services understand how to best undertake forensic genital examinations, collect forensic genital specimens, and identify and document genital injuries in this population. This case report discusses three trans and gender diverse complainants of sexual assault seen at the Sexual Assault Resource Centre in Western Australia. These cases, along with an accompanying review of the literature, have been used to change the centre's practice towards this community to improve forensic genital examinations. This has included creating specific trans and gender diverse medical and forensic notes, improving clinician knowledge around trans and gender diverse genital examinations and genital injury profiles, creating an inclusive physical environment, improving trans and gender diverse patient knowledge around sexual assault services, and providing options for genital specimen collection.
