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

Objective: Healthcare for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) adolescents varies across countries; therefore, a specific module dedicated to gender incongruence within the European Registries for Rare Endocrine & Bone Conditions (EuRREB) was developed to understand this variation. In addition, this project aims to facilitate longitudinal data collection through international, multicenter collaborations with the ultimate goal of refining current guidelines. Methods: The module consists of five sections covering general information, including the presence of mental health comorbidities, and specific information on gonadal hormone suppression (GHS), gender-affirming hormone (GAH) therapy, fertility preservation, gender-affirming surgery (GAS), and eventual cessation of treatments. Results: As of December 2024, five centers from four European countries (Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, and the Netherlands) had started to report cases in the registry. Preliminary findings highlight the existence of some differences among centers, often as a consequence of differences in national regulations and healthcare policies, e.g., reimbursement criteria. Importantly, mental health comorbidities were commonly reported among TGD adolescents from all centers, emphasizing the need for comprehensive psychological assessment and targeted psychological care. While currently still at an early stage, this longitudinal data collection will offer insights into important long-term outcomes such as uptake of surgical or reproductive options, or detransition, in large cohorts. Conclusion: The data collected so far highlight the importance of wide multicenter data collection in advancing knowledge on the care of TGD adolescents. Expanding this registry and fostering international collaboration will be crucial in standardizing protocols, improving care, and guiding evidence-based recommendations for TGD youth.
