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

While there is considerable overlap in the treatment of patients with intersex traits and differences in sex development (I/DSD) with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth, the initial medical evaluation varies significantly. I/DSD youth often present due to differences in genitalia development in infancy or pubertal development in adolescence, and this leads to comprehensive biochemical, radiologic, and genetic evaluation. TGD youth, however, tend to have typical development noted at birth and during puberty, but present with a gender identity that does not align with their sex assigned at birth and do not require evaluation for underlying pathology. For both I/DSD and TGD youth, the mainstays of treatment are to better align one's physical appearance to their gender identity. This review discusses the non-medical and medical interventions utilized in gender affirming care. A multidisciplinary team of mental health providers, pediatric medical providers, and surgeons is recommended for providing gender affirming care to both I/DSD youth and TGD youth and their families. Radiologists have an important role in initial evaluation of I/DSD youth and in ongoing monitoring of growth and bone mineral density during puberty induction in I/DSD and TGD youth.
