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: The narratives of trans women dominate the discourse on 'trans rights' in India, thereby marginalizing transmasculine identities that continue to be 'invisible' in public perception. Trans men are often neglected in gynecological and reproductive healthcare, including gender-affirming services, despite their distinct sexual and reproductive requirements. Notwithstanding substantial progress in recognizing and protecting women's reproductive rights, Indian judiciaries have persistently overlooked the reproductive and health rights of transgender individuals. The recent enactment of India's ART Bill of 2008 and the Surrogacy Bill of 2016 and the Transgender Persons Act, 2019 has further reinforced this conviction. Purpose: The study aimed to explore trans men's experiences of poor healthcare facilities and reproductive (in)justice shaped by India's recent legislations. Method: Comprehensive searches were performed across multiple databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, and official government websites, employing search strings pertinent to gender recognition and assisted human reproduction (AHR) legislation, and reproductive healthcare. A total of four narratives were identified for discussion using thematic analysis. Results: Four themes were developed: (1) uninformed and reluctant healthcare providers, (2) invalidation of gender identity and invasive questions, (3) lack of availability of free gender-transition services in public hospitals, and (4) Denial of protection under constitutional framework. Conclusion: This study adds to the expanding field of literature calling for transmasculine persons' reproductive health rights and informing policies.
