The Clinical and Surgical Landscape of Gender Affirming Vocal Care: A Scoping Review.
Review in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: To comprehensively map the surgical and nonsurgical gender affirming voice literature, synthesize our understanding of the current data, and guide future research. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science Core Collection databases. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, independent reviewers screened databases from inception, extracting data regarding methodological design, levels of evidence, patient demographics, outcome measures, and surgical techniques. Results: Of 3231 articles screened, 290 met inclusion criteria. Primary publication rates increased from an average of 2.7 articles/year (2000-2009) to 31.3 articles/year (2022-2024). Most studies were cross-sectional ( Conclusion: Current literature is characterized by small size, lack of randomization, and no comparison groups, features consistent with lower levels of evidence. Future research may address gaps in the literature including underrepresented populations, such as trans men and nonbinary/gender diverse individuals, and investigating the impact of vocal gender dysphoria on function.
