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

Purpose: No research exists on oophorectomy counseling during hysterectomy counseling in transgender men and nonbinary (transmasculine [TM]) adolescents assigned female at birth. The purpose of this study was to understand variations in gender-affirming hysterectomy (GAHyst) and oophorectomy counseling among clinicians caring for TM adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, online survey of clinicians who counsel TM adolescents (≤18) on GAHyst. Results: Of 78 eligible respondents, 76% (59) prescribed gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and 12% (9) performed GAHyst. Only 71% ( Conclusion: Clinicians have diverse approaches to counseling about GAHyst and oophorectomy, and many who provide GAHyst counseling do not themselves perform the procedure. More research is needed on the best approaches to GAHyst and oophorectomy counseling in TM adolescents, as well as better educational resources to standardize approaches and improve equitable care.
