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

Telemedicine may help improve access to gender-affirming care for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents. Parents or guardians (i.e., caregivers) of TGD adolescents play a critical role in supporting TGD adolescents in accessing this care. The purpose of this study was to explore caregivers' perspectives regarding their adolescent receiving pediatric gender-affirming care via telemedicine to help providers and health systems optimize this modality for future care delivery. Caregivers (n=18) of TGD adolescents ages 14-17 participated in semi-structured, individual interviews that were transcribed and analyzed qualitatively. Caregivers cited participating in visits from their home environment, decreased anxiety, COVID safety, ability to have more family members attend, no transportation demands, and effective delivery of care as advantages of telemedicine. Disadvantages included dysphoria or discomfort with self-image, impersonal provider-patient interactions, video teleconferencing fatigue, difficulty with portal navigation, connectivity issues, and lack of privacy. Caregivers largely deferred to their child's preference regarding the choice of visit modality, but many reported a preference for the first to be conducted in-person, and follow-up and less complex visits via telemedicine. Health systems should consider these perspectives as they adapt telemedicine infrastructure to better meet the needs of patients and their families.
