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

objectiveTo measure components of the circulating transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) system in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) compared to relevant controls and to ascertain correlation with endocrine and cardiovascular parameters.

methodsTGFβ1, TGFβ2 and endoglin (a vascular TGF receptor component) were measured using enzyme-linked immunoassays in the sera of 40 subjects with TS and 40 healthy volunteer women. The cardiovascular phenotype in TS subjects was extensively characterized by cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) and echo.

resultsTGFβ1 levels were about 3-fold higher in TS while TGFβ2 levels were about 3.5-fold higher in controls (P<0.000 1 for both). Soluble endoglin levels were 25% higher in TS (P<0.000 1). Variation in TGFβ system components was not explained by age, blood pressure, platelet count, thyroid function, body proportions or cardiovascular phenotype.

conclusionThere is profound perturbation of the TGFβ system evident in the circulation of individuals with TS.
