Impact of Gender-Affirming Interventions on Mental Health and Body Image Satisfaction of Transgender Individuals: A Systematic Review.
Review in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The current systematic review aims to check the impact of gender-affirming interventions (GAIs) on the mental health and body satisfaction of transgender individuals. The literature search was carried out in PubMed, ProQuest, and Scopus, and screening was done based on PRISMA guidelines. Data were extracted using a custom-developed template, and quality assessment was carried out using ROBINS-I and ROB-2. Sixteen studies were finalised for the review. Data were synthesised narratively based on the impact of these GAIs on anxiety, depression, self-harm, and body image satisfaction. Individuals who received the GAIs showed significant improvement in their mental health and body image acceptance. A system of integrative medical, surgical, and psychological interventions for transgender healthcare by incorporating the clinicians, researchers, and policymakers relied on comprehensive evidence on the diverse experiences of transgender individuals. The long-term effects of GAIs remain unclear, underscoring the need for further longitudinal research.
