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

A retrospective review of gender-affirming hormone therapy was conducted in 101 transgender boys followed in the pediatric endocrine clinic. Eighty-seven percent were postmenarchal at the initial visit. Of the 44% prescribed gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHas), insurance coverage was denied in 34% and an average of 4.5 months elapsed before treatment could be started in the remainder. Patients prescribed GnRHas were younger than those who were not, 13.7±2.1 versus 15.5±2.0 years,
