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
introduction and hypothesisAccess to gender-affirming care has improved for transgender individuals, yet significant barriers to surgical interventions persist. Bilateral orchiectomy is a straightforward, same-day procedure that plays a crucial role in gender affirming care. This article and accompanying video outline the indications for this procedure and provide a step-by-step demonstration of the surgical technique.
methodsWe describe the surgical steps of gender-affirming bilateral orchiectomy, highlighting its similarities to vaginal gynecologic procedures. We also discuss indications for gender-affirming bilateral orchiectomy, review testicular anatomy and its parallels to ovarian anatomy, surgical technique, and postoperative care.
resultsThe senior author, a board-certified urogynecologist, has performed over 100 bilateral orchiectomies with excellent outcomes. Given the political and systemic challenges transgender patients face in accessing surgical care, this video underscores the role of urogynecologists and gynecologists in providing this essential service.
conclusionsThis video illustrates indications and technique for bilateral orchiectomy in gender-affirming care, emphasizing its overlap with vaginal surgical skills. Increased exposure to this procedure may encourage urogynecologists and gynecologists to incorporate it into their practice with minimal additional training.
