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

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is often considered a pediatric endocrinology condition, but we present two cases of young adults who presented with hypertension. An 18-year-old woman was found to have hypertension and hypokalemia when she presented for gonadectomy for 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis. She was subsequently found to have low cortisol, elevated progesterone, and elevated aldosterone. Genetic testing confirmed 17-alpha hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD). Her case was unique in that 17OHD usually presents with hypoaldosteronism. We also present the case of a 15-year-old man (46, XX) with resistant hypertension due to 11-beta hydroxylase deficiency (11OHD) who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy for control of hypertension. The relevant literature is reviewed including the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of the hypertensive variants of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We also review the unique areas of hyperaldosteronism in 17OHD and the use of bilateral adrenalectomy for control of hypertension in CAH.
