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

In this study, we summarize evidence from the European project TRANSCARE to identify key areas for improvement in transgender care and synthesize our experience into a roadmap of knowledge integration into healthcare systems. According to our roadmap, as a public health concern, progress in transgender care requires its integration into health policy, education and training for healthcare professionals, and availability of essential gender-affirming medications and population-specific healthcare services, including both medical and social care. Our roadmap serves as a model for stakeholders to use when determining the elements and steps necessary for transgender care integration and includes the synthesis of multiple actions to address: (1) transgender care inclusion in national health policy, (2) legislation and finance, (3) availability of essential gender-affirming medications, particularly hormone therapy, (4) education and training for health care professionals, (5) implementation of trans-specific care services at primary and secondary care services, (6) implementation of trans-specific services in social care and linkage with medical care. Results and evidence from all project activities are combined to create a pathway with multiple nodes to guide the development of integrated transgender care and to monitor progress. While the study focuses on the health and social context of Greece, our roadmap serve as a model for adaptation in other settings. As with any public health issue, the implementation of the roadmap requires both stakeholder engagement and policy actions to be further piloted, tested, and eventually adopted.
