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

Background/objectives: The objective of this paper is to present a method of hysterectomy and colpectomy in trans men seeking gender affirming surgery using a uterovaginal manipulator device. Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy and colpectomy as gender affirming surgery. The perioperative descriptive statistical data as well as complications were documented. An instructional video has been prepared and is provided as Supplementary Material. Results: Patients had a median age of 28 years and a mean BMI of 23.5 ± 3.8 Kg/m Conclusions: Robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy and colpectomy in trans men seeking gender affirming surgery is a feasible option, facilitated by the use of a uterovaginal manipulator device. Candidates for the procedure should be properly counseled in anticipation of possible complications.
