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

Discourse regarding informed consent in trans health care generally addresses overarching interventions (hormones, surgery) and not specific details of these interventions (who will be involved, what kind of and where touch is required), which threatens patient autonomy and bodily agency and reinforces power imbalances inherent in health care. Pelvic care has made the case for a trauma-informed approach to informed consent, which offers a strategy to discuss these specific details and mitigate such threats. In this article, we provide guidance for how clinicians working in gender-affirming surgery can implement a trauma-informed approach to informed consent through an iterative model of informed consent.
