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

Purpose of Review: Increased politicization of health care, exemplified by bans on gender-affirming and reproductive care, has significantly impacted adolescents' ability to receive safe care. We conducted a rapid review of evidence examining politicized health legislation's impact on adolescents' right to health, focusing on reproductive, gender-affirming, and eating disorder care. Recent Findings: Politicization of care has impacted adolescents' right to health by creating financial barriers and changes in geographic access. For example, state legislative ban on abortion and gender-affirming care have created care deserts in which adolescents are forced to travel to receive care. These changes have resulted in delays in care, loss of bodily autonomy, and negative impacts on physical and mental health. Summary: The findings of this rapid review have important implications for adolescent medicine clinical practices. Providers caring for adolescents require institutional support and resources to address increased patient psychosocial concerns and potentially higher patient volume as a result of restrictive legislation. Ultimately, policy advocacy is necessary to change legislation disrupting adolescents' right to health.
