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

backgroundVarious techniques for the surgical treatment of gender incongruence (GI) have been available for years. The spectrum is broad and covers various specialties. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of clinics offering body-modifying procedures. This has led to a considerable variation in methods in some cases. Although the topic has recently found its way more and more into teaching and the relevant specialist literature, there are still no evidence-based recommendations on the various techniques.

aimA compendium of established surgical techniques was to be compiled, containing recommendations on indication, performance and aftercare as well as complication management and subjecting them to a consensus-based evaluation. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn accordance with "Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften" (AWMF) regulations, the guideline was developed at level S2k, i.e., it is consensus based. The guideline group was founded in February 2019 in a formal constituent meeting. A total of 14 medical societies and 2 interest groups were recruited for the guideline work. In the end, two consensus meetings were held, which was due to the large number of recommendations and background texts to be adopted.

resultsThe guideline focuses on the choice and applicability of surgical techniques as well as the wishes of those seeking treatment and protection of fertility. There is a wide variety of methods and treatment goals for each individual. Taking into account medical standards, recommendations, and contraindications, an optimal result that minimizes individual suffering can be achieved together with the person seeking treatment.

conclusionThe content of the guideline represents a unique compendium of surgical methods, recommendations for the selection of procedures, and common indications in the field of body-modifying surgery for gender incongruence.
