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
Purpose: This study explored how state policies limiting access to gender-affirming care (GAC) for youth have impacted medical student decisions and plans for residency training. Methods: We administered a cross-sectional mixed-methods survey among medical students in the United States from March 7, 2024 through April 12, 2024. Respondents were asked if and how legislation limiting access to GAC for youth has or will impact their residency plans. Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression analyses that assessed factors associated with the belief that GAC-restricting legislation would, would not, or may impact the residency program they attend in the future and concern that GAC-restricting legislation may be enacted where they pursue residency. Qualitative responses were analyzed thematically with axial coding. Results: Our sample included 237 medical students. Among those who applied to residency in the 2023-2024 application cycle ( Conclusion: State legislation limiting youth access to GAC may have broad, long-term impacts on the distribution of physicians across the United States. Further research should investigate the effect of GAC-restricting legislation on the composition, capacity, and well-being of the health care workforce.
