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

Objective: 17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase deficiency (17OHD) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), characterized by hypertension and varying degrees of ambiguous genitalia and delayed puberty. The disease is associated with bi-allelic mutations in the Methods: We evaluated six patients with 17OHD from five families at presentation and at follow up. Standard deviation score of all auxological measurements was calculated according to national data and karyotype status. Results: The mean (±standard deviation) age of patients at presentation and follow-up time was 14.6±4.2 and 5.0±2.7 years respectively. Five patients were referred to us because of delayed puberty and primary amenorrhea and four for hypertension. One novel single nucleotide insertion leading to frame shift and another novel variant occurring at an ultra rare position, leading to a missense change, are reported, both of which caused 17OHD deficiency. Steroid replacement was started. The three patients with 46,XY karyotype who were raised as females underwent gonadectomy. Osteoporosis was detected in five patients. Four patients needed antihypertensive treatment. Improvement in osteoporosis was noted with gonadal steroid replacement and supportive therapy. Conclusion: 17OHD, a rare cause of CAH, should be kept in mind in patients with pubertal delay and/or hypertension. Patients with 46,XY who are raised as females require gonadectomy. Due to late diagnosis, psychological problems, gender selection, hypertension and osteoporosis are important health problems affecting a high proportion of these patients.
