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: Gender-affirming voice training is an important service for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals who wish to modify their voice to be more congruent with their gender identity. For decades, the research in this area has focused on adults, yet TGD young people also receive these services regularly. The purpose of this study was to analyze patient-reported outcomes in TGD young people who completed voice training. Methods: This study consisted of a retrospective chart review of 118 TGD individuals ages 11 to 23 years old who were seen at a university clinic between 2019 and 2024. We assessed voice outcomes with the Utah Gender Presentation Scale for Communication (U-GPS), the Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ), and acoustic measures. These data were compared before and after voice training. Results: Data were available for 68 clients who completed voice training. There were significant improvements in gender congruence by the end of treatment ( Conclusion: This article is the first to demonstrate the benefits of voice training for TGD young people. This population warrants special attention in the literature, and further research should evaluate specific treatment protocols and associated outcomes for young people.
