Improving care for individuals with gender incongruence: Establishing a multidisciplinary approach in Italy.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeTo present a multidisciplinary care model designed to provide personalized gender-affirming care and assess general health for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals.
methodsDrawing from our experience in a tertiary center in Padua (Italy), the Interdisciplinary Group for Gender Incongruence (GIIG) model employs a multidisciplinary approach to provide diverse gender-affirmation services. Mental health support, gender-affirming medical and surgical treatments (GAMST), screening programs, and regular follow-up ensure treatment safety and efficacy. The GIIG model promotes collaboration among specialists, primary health services, and LGBTQ + associations. Furthermore, it advocates for training healthcare professionals and raising awareness in the population.
resultsThe GIIG involves mental health professionals, endocrinologists, surgeons (plastic, urological, and gynaecological), voice specialists, internists, and associations. Associations serve as a point of reference for the community and offer psychological and legal services. Initial contact at the Center is made with MHP, who provide a safe space to explore gender identity, receive information, and support mental well-being. Endocrinologists prescribe hormone therapy and monitor its potential risks and overall health. Surgical interventions include chest, genital, and laryngeal surgery. Internists and other specialists assess osteo-muscular, hemo-coagulative, oncological, and infectious risks.
conclusionsOur experience emphasizes the need for personalized care tailored to individuals' desires while ensuring the safety of gender-affirming treatments. By adhering to the Standards of Care and offering comprehensive services, our center aims to serve as a model for modern transgender care.
