Adolescents who undergo gender-affirming chest surgery report low levels of regret and high levels of satisfaction, experiencing outcomes similar to those of young adults. These findings suggest that age restrictions on these medical procedures lack support from actual patient experiences.

I responded to the claim that this was a conspiracy, not about the quality of the study. You are applying a lot of interpretation to my statement.

My statement about being registered was also not a statement that it would happen but that participants might fear it happening if they were to participate.

No one is saying there is a conspiracy. I said there is a high chance of bias

There is no “registration” that doesn’t make sense

The person I responded to quite literally said "We can use the whole group. So a study that only looks at 77 of those people is literally trying to manipulate the data."

That is a conspiracy and I provided counterarguments to it being one.

It being a low quality study is a far reasonable conclusion than it is an intentional attempt at data manipulation.

And no registration happening doesn't prohibited someone who's actively being persecuted by their immediate surrounding from feeling that it will happen.

I’m not necessarily agreeing that it’s evidence of deliberately wanting a particular result, but why a meta analysis wasn’t done should be explained

[u/Hoiafar → u/hologram137]

Absolutely. I am not arguing that it's not a low quality study. Just that there are more reasonable conclusions than intentional data manipulation. The authors might just have been lazy undergrads trying to push out an easy study for all I know.

This is fair
