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

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder, characterized by reduced bone content, fractures and skeletal malformation due to abnormal synthesis or dysfunction of type I collagen protein. Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is usually associated with environmental and hereditary factors. Here, we report a rare case of OI and PSIS co-occurrence. A 19-year-old male patient sought treatment for growth delay and absent secondary sexual characteristics. Hormone measurements indicated the presence of hypopituitarism (secondary hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, ACTH-cortisol hormone deficiency, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism). Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging indicated reduced morphology of the anterior lobe, absence of the pituitary stalk, and ectopic displacement of the posterior lobe to the infundibulum, supporting a diagnosis of PSIS. In addition, the patient, his monozygotic twin brother (no evidence of PSIS), and their mother all presented blue sclera and susceptibility to bone fractures before adulthood. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated that the family had compound heterozygous mutations in
