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

Vaginoplasty is a gender-affirming surgery (GAS) for transwomen that laid its foundation in the 1950s and continues to be widely practiced worldwide. We present here a case of a 70-year-old transwoman who underwent lower anterior resection for rectal cancer 12 years after vaginoplasty. The preoperative diagnosis was rectal cancer (Rb-Ra, type 2, cT2N0M0, stage 1). All imaging studies showed a cord-like structure between the prostate and the anterior wall of the rectum, which was thought to be the neovagina. Careful dissection of the anterior rectal wall was required because the distance between the neovagina and the rectum was only 1.5 mm. The role of hormonal therapy and GAS in cancer development in transwomen is unclear. It is important to have regular check-ups for malignancies in patients who have undergone GAS, and if surgical procedures are needed, they should be treated by physicians who are familiar with the procedure.
