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
Background: Few studies assess post-operative outcomes for transmasculine and nonbinary individuals assigned female at birth who received top surgery as minors (i.e. younger than 18 years of age). Methods: This study collected online post-operative follow-up surveys from transmasculine and nonbinary individuals who received top surgery as minors. Top surgery was received, on average, 3.70 years ago (range = 0.5-7.6 years) between the years 2016-2023. The sample consisted of 53 transmasculine ( Results: Analyses revealed high appearance congruence (total scale = 53.21, SD = 5.99; Appearance Congruence subscale = 40.40; SD = 4.81), and high gender identity acceptance (12.81; SD = 2.33). Chest dysphoria was very low (1.64; SD = 1.55). Anxiety (4.81, SD = 4.21) and depression (4.57, SD = 3.94) were minimal/mild. Social support was high (5.72; SD = 1.18). Discussion: The present study shows good post-operative outcomes for transmasculine and nonbinary individuals who received top surgery as minors. Medical providers should consider gender affirming surgeries as a possible beneficial treatment for gender diverse youth that follows the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care.
