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
Background: Genital tucking, defined as the use of any nonsurgical method to reduce the appearance of the penis and/or testes to align with one's gender expression, is a common gender-affirming practice among transfeminine and gender diverse (TFGD) individuals. However, little is known about TFGD individuals' experiences of genital tucking beyond limited research on its fertility impacts. Aims: This study aims to better understand TFGD individuals' experiences of tucking, focusing specifically on the factors influencing TFGD individuals' tucking practices and the health impacts of tucking on TFGD communities. Materials and Methods: Participants were administered a 3-part online survey collecting: (1) Demographic information, (2) Information about gender-affirming care, and (3) Information about tucking practices. The survey included both closed-ended and open-ended questions. Responses to open-ended questions were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Descriptive statistics were generated for closed-ended questions. Results: Ninety-nine TFGD individuals ( Discussion: Healthcare providers have an obligation to support TFGD individuals in developing safe tucking practices, which necessitates increased understanding of the relationship between tucking and dysphoria, awareness of the online community resources currently informing TFGD individuals' tucking practices, and commitment to developing affirming spaces for TFGD individuals to discuss the impacts of tucking on their health.
