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

Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is increasingly being performed. GAS is tailored to the patient leading to a diverse spectrum of radiologic post-operative findings. Radiologists who are unfamiliar with expected anatomic alterations after GAS may misdiagnose important complications leading to adverse patient outcomes. This collaborative multi-institutional review aims to: Describe relevant embryology and native anatomy. Describe relevant Gender-Affirming Surgery (GAS) techniques and expected neo-anatomy with associated complications, including common terminology. Review expected imaging appearance of neo-anatomy/postoperative findings. Review multi-modality [ultrasound, plain film, retrograde urethrogram, computed tomography] emergent imaging findings. Understand unique patient evaluation and imaging protocol considerations in the GAS population. Discuss pearls and pitfalls of imaging in the acute post-GAS setting.
