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: Gender affirmation surgery (GAS) refers to surgical procedures that align physical appearance with gender identity. Data are limited regarding GAS in national cohort studies and we aimed to assess GAS in Danish transgender persons. Methods: We conducted a national register-based cohort study in Danish transgender persons. Persons with International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 diagnosis code of "gender identity disorder" were included during 2000-2021 and surgical procedure codes were identified up to and including June 2022. Results: The cohort included 3812 transgender persons with median age (interquartile range) at study inclusion 19.0 (15.0; 24.0) years for persons assigned female sex at birth (AFAB, Conclusions: The incidence of GAS increased and waiting time decreased for transgender persons diagnosed during 2000-2018. Genital constructive GAS was rarely performed in Danish transgender persons.
