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

Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) occurs in ~1/5000-1/7000 individuals and is in most cases caused by autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). Around 10-20% of women with AAD develop premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) before the age of 40 years. 21-Hydroxylase autoantibodies (21OHAb) are the best single immune marker to classify AAD among PAI patients and autoimmune POI in hypergonadotropic hypogonadic women. In AAD, detection of steroid-cell autoantibodies (StCA) predicts future development of POI. AAD-related autoimmune POI is characterized by a selective destruction of theca cells with preservation of primary follicles and granulosa cells of secondary and tertiary follicles. Women with AAD show reduced fertility and parity. Patients with well-managed disease are generally expected to have uneventful pregnancies with favorable outcome, but increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications has been reported. Hence, AAD pregnant women must be carefully monitored by skilled staff which is familiar with the disorder and specific attention must be given to the substitutive therapy.
