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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify health care transition (HCT) readiness and skills among transgender youth transitioning gender-affirming care from pediatric to adult providers. Methods: A convenience sample of youth, 14-21 years old, their parents, and health care providers recruited from a multidisciplinary transgender youth clinic in 2019 completed a modified version of the Got Transition readiness assessment with elements specific to gender-affirming care. Youth assessed their own readiness, parents assessed their child's readiness, and providers assessed their transgender patients' readiness overall. Results: Twenty-nine youth (mean age 17.0 years), 26 parents, and 5 health care providers participated. Ratings of the overall importance of preparing for HCT were similar across all participant groups, and there were few disagreements on the importance of individual skills included in the readiness assessment. Ratings of overall HCT readiness were similar for youth regardless of age, while parents of younger youth (<18 years old) reported lower readiness than did parents of older youth. Youth rated their own competence in several skills higher compared with parents or providers, including knowledge of hormone therapy side effects. All groups of participants reported that youth most frequently needed assistance with scheduling appointments and keeping records of health information. Conclusions: Survey of youth, parents, and providers suggests that youth and parents require additional support to navigate the HCT process, highlighting the importance of ongoing skills assessment and planning.
