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

objectiveThe early diagnosis of Turner syndrome (TS) is often difficult because of the various clinical features. This study aimed to investigate clinical features and identify associated abnormalities in a group of patients with TS.

methodsRetrospective data of presenting clinical features collected from the medical records of the 37 patients with TS. All patients were examined for associated clinical abnormalities.

resultsMean age at diagnosis was 9.3±4.1 years. The main reason for referral was short stature and/or delayed puberty. All of the patients had at least one dysmorphic sign. Skeletal system abnormalities (57%) were the most common associated abnormality, which was followed by gastrointestinal system problems (40%). Cardiac defects occurred in 32%. Urinary system abnormalities occurred in 27%. Dermatological problems were detected in 32% of the patients. The pathology of the hearing was found in 19%. Autoimmune thyroid disease was detected in 24% of the patients, and celiac disease was detected in 5.4% of the patients.

conclusionPhenotypic variability often leads to a delay in the diagnosis of TS. Early diagnosis can initiate effective management in patients with TS.
