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
Objective: As the number of transgender and non-binary (TGN) youth and young adults referred for gender-affirming medical treatment increases, there is a need to better understand how these individuals experience the interventions. The aim of the present study is to expand our understanding of how TGN youth and young adults perceive bodily changes following medical treatment as part of gender-affirming care. Method: Ten life-mode interviews exploring individuals' everyday experiences and the meanings they attach to them were conducted with TGN youth and young adults in Norway, assigned female at birth, aged 17-22, three years after they initiated gender-affirming medical treatment to align their bodies with their gender identities. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Based on the analysis of the semi-structured interviews, we developed three major themes and six sub-themes: (1) Conclusion: The psychosocial aspects related to medical treatment in gender-affirming care are important vantage points for exploring the social meaning of the body and bodily changes. We therefore suggest that psychosocial aspects of gender-affirming care should be attended to and integrated alongside medical treatment.
