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

backgroundp.Tyr329fs is a cytochrome P450c17 mutation among Chinese individuals. However, data on 17-α-hydroxylase deficiency caused by cytochrome P450c17 p.Tyr329fs homozygous mutation are lacking. This paper is a case report of three patients homozygous for p.Tyr329fs who were diagnosed with 17-α-hydroxylase deficiency between 2005 and 2019. CASE SUMMARY: Case 1 presented with hypertension, hypokalemia, sexual infantilism and delayed bone age. The patient had a 46, XY karyotype, was homozygous for p.Tyr329fs and was recently treated with dexamethasone 0.375 mg qn. Case 2 presented with hypokalemia, sexual infantilism, osteoporosis and delayed bone age. The patient had a 46, XY karyotype, was homozygous for p.Tyr329fs and was treated with dexamethasone 0.75 mg qn at the last follow-up. Serum potassium and blood pressure could be maintained within normal range for cases 1 and 2. Case 3 presented with amenorrhea, sexual infantilism, osteopenia and delayed bone age. The patient had a 46, XX karyotype, was homozygous for p.Tyr329fs and was treated with dexamethasone 0.75 mg qn and progynova 1 mg qd. Outpatient follow-up revealed an adrenocorticotropic hormone (8 AM) of < 5.00 pg/mL.

conclusionThe homozygous p.Tyr329fs mutation usually manifests as a combined deficiency, and definitive diagnosis depends primarily on genetic testing.
