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: A mismatch between chromosomal, gonadal, and phenotypic sexes in individuals with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) creates problems in sex assignment and psychosexual identification. Objective: To identify psychosexual and sex assignment peculiarities of individuals with different forms of AIS. Materials and Methods: In this qualitative study, 41 individuals with AIS aged between 15 and 31 yr who referred to the Universe Center for Reproductive Medicine Tbilisi, Georgia between 2016 and 2021 were studied. All individuals underwent clinical, genealogical, hormonal, ultrasonographic, and cytogenetic examinations. In-depth interviews and medical records assessed psychosexual profiles and sex assignment histories. Results: 32 cases were diagnosed with the complete form of AIS (CAIS), 8 individuals with the partial form (PAIS), and one with a mild form (MAIS). Individuals with CAIS and PAIS were assessed at birth and raised as girls. Individuals with CAIS and female psychosexual disposition were referred to us due to amenorrhea. Adolescent individuals with PAIS assessed as girls referred to us due to masculinization detected in puberty. An individual with MAIS was assessed at birth and raised as a boy with male genitalia. All individuals with AIS had typical hormonal data and sex chromosome complex for men. 20 sexually active individuals with CAIS had penile-vaginal contact with the man. None of the individuals with CAIS and PAIS thought about gender reassignment after being diagnosed, only the individual with MAIS aimed for male-to-female transition. Conclusion: Psychosexual identification remains a significant challenge in AIS management. Detection of female psychosexual disposition in one participant that is unusual to MAIS may be associated with somatic mosaicism of the androgen receptor gene.
