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

purposeMutations and phenotypic characteristics remain unclear in patients with congenital hypothyroidism (CH), and no study concerning whether the outcome of transient CH (TCH) or permanent CH (PCH) is determined by mutations has been reported.

methodsWe searched the literature up to April 2019. Eligible studies and data extraction were performed. We estimated the relationship between mutations and phenotypic characteristics in pooled patients with CH.

resultsTwo hundred forty-one cases were pooled from 41 eligible studies. The thyroid morphology, classification of mutated genes, and types of mutations were different between 94 patients with TCH and 147 patients with PCH. Heterozygous missense mutations prevailed in

conclusionTransient or permanent outcomes were influenced by the biological function of mutated genes instead of types of mutations among patients with CH. Patients whose mutations were related to thyroid dysgenesis (TD) were more likely to have PCH. The relationship between mutations and phenotypic characteristics is complicated, and phenotypic characteristics may be affected by mutations and other factors.
