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

aimTo analyze a single-centre experience in feminizing genitoplasty in virilized girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

methodsReview of medical records of all 46, XX CAH patients undergoing single stage feminizing genitoplasty between 2003 and 2018 was performed.

resultsA total of 31 girls aged from 4 months to 10 years were included in the study. The majority (n = 26/31, 84%) were operated before 2 years of age (median 8 months). External virilization was rated as Prader 3 (n = 7/31), Prader 4 (n = 21/31) and Prader 5 (n = 3/31). The urethrovaginal confluence location was low in 19 and high in 12 girls with a percentage distribution similar in Prader 4 and 5 (

conclusionsEarly feminizing genitoplasty in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, irrespective of virilization severity, gives satisfactory cosmetic results and is characterized by low and acceptable surgical risk. Nevertheless, the most important determinant of the effectiveness of such management would be future patients' satisfaction.
