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

Approximately 25 million people worldwide do not identify with the sex assigned at birth. Treatment options for gender dysphoria are multidisciplinary and include gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgery. Uterus transplantation in women without a uterus is promising for treating absolute uterine factor infertility, and its efficacy has been demonstrated through successful transplant surgeries and subsequent births via cesarean section following single embryo transfer. Transgender men undergoing gender-affirming hysterectomy to alleviate gender dysphoria symptoms should be considered as potential uterus donors for transplantation. Although transgender men show positive attitudes toward uterus donation to women with infertility, who do not have a uterus, long-term gender-affirming testosterone therapy induces uterine changes that necessitate assessment before donation for transplantation should be considered. This commentary highlights the major challenges associated with uterus donation by transgender men for transplantation.
