How Gatekeepers Can Better Appreciate the Autonomy of Transgender Patients.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Often primary care providers are called upon to judge the legitimacy of patients' requests for gender-affirming care. Such requests are not necessarily based on best practices but exist nonetheless. Understanding the basis of such requests and objections to them can assist PCPs in navigating their role as gatekeepers. We address common objections raised to such requests and use common clinical scenarios to show that these objections are based on an incomplete understanding of autonomy. We conclude with a discussion of how a contemporary understanding of how gender identity is constructed might help primary care providers understand their role and how to help patients with their requests, both in gender-affirming care and more generally.
