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
Purpose: Little is known about transgender and gender expansive (TGE) adolescents' and young adults' (AYAs') pain and psychosocial experiences in the acute postsurgical period following gender-affirming surgery (GAS). This study describes pain symptomatology and psychosocial functioning within 1 month after GAS among TGE AYAs, examines immediate postsurgical associations of cannabis use with pain symptomatology, pain catastrophizing, and psychosocial functioning, and explores pain persistence, cannabis use, and psychosocial functioning in a subgroup of individuals 6 months after surgery. Methods: AYAs ( Results: Participants reported acute and persistent pain following GAS. Younger age was associated with improved pain interference in the postoperative stage. Reports of past 30-day cannabis use were high in this sample, and cannabis use was associated with higher pain interference, anxiety, and depression. Conclusion: This study is the first to assess AYA pain functioning, mental health, and cannabis use following GAS within 1 month of surgery and at 6 months. Findings suggest that 6 months after GAS is a postsurgical adjustment phase, necessitating more supportive perioperative and psychosocial resources, including attention to substance use, during this crucial window.
