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

Interventions for transgender (TG) youth include puberty suppression and gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Studies have begun to show changes in cardiometabolic outcomes in adolescent transgender males (TGM) and females (TGF). We hypothesized that in TGM and TGF youth, GAHT would increase total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, insulin resistance (IR), and adiposity while decreasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. We measured IR (oral glucose tolerance test), lipid profile, and endothelial function (flow-mediated vasodilation) before and following 6 mo of GAHT in TGM (
