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

Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth may pursue gender-affirming medical therapy in the form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa), or "puberty blockers," if pubertal changes result in the development or worsening of gender dysphoria. GnRHa monotherapy can allow TGD youth to explore gender without the distress of unwanted secondary sexual characteristics. However, given the potential effects of GnRHa on growth, skeletal development, neurodevelopment, fertility, and future surgical outcomes, it is critical to accurately assess pubertal status to facilitate fully informed conversations with TGD youth and families about risks, benefits, and unknown consequences of GnRHa monotherapy. The focus of this discussion will be on the approach to puberty assessment in TGD youth as well as the different effects of GnRHa monotherapy that may be important to TGD youth and their families.
