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

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) as an intraoperative perfusion imaging modality during gender affirmation surgery (GAS). The hypothesis posited that HSI could quantify perfusion to the clitoral complex, thereby enabling the prediction of either uneventful wound healing or the occurrence of necrosis. In this non-randomised prospective clinical study, we enrolled 30 patients who underwent GAS in the form of vaginoplasty with the preparation of a clitoral complex from 2020 to 2024 and compared patients' characteristics as well as HSI data regarding clitoris necrosis. Individuals demonstrating uneventful wound healing pertaining to the clitoral complex were designated as Group A. Patients with complete necrosis of the neo-clitoris were assigned to Group B. Patient characteristics were collected and subsequently a comparative analysis carried out. No significant difference in patient characteristics was observed between the two groups. Necrosis occurred when both StO
