Does Sex Matter to the Biomedical Approach in Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)?: A Systematic Review of Methodology Documents Used in the Spanish National Health System.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sex and gender are important variables in health, although their incorporation in medicine has been very slow. If research is sensitive and yields fruitful sex and gender evidence, these results should be included in the guidelines for clinical practices. However, literature claims that clinical practice guidelines devote very little space to these categories. The present systematic review addresses the relevance of sex and gender dimensions through methodology documents for the development of clinical practice guidelines based on three sources: the AGREE Reporting Checklist, the GRADE Handbook, and the Spanish GuíaSalud NHS Clinical Guideline Program. Findings suggest that neglecting sex and gender issues in the biomedical approach may lead to continuing to ignore relevant evidence on biological and social dimensions that do indeed influence people's health and diseases.
