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

Premature or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) affects approximately 1% of women and can be due to a variety of causes. Genetic causes include syndromic and non-syndromic POI. There are several promising candidate genes for whom a clear Mendelian association with non-syndromic POI has not yet been conclusively established, including GDF9. GDF9 is an oocyte-secreted factor and is part of the TGF-beta superfamily of morphogens. It has an important role in follicular development and granulosa cell maturation. We report the case of two siblings with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and a homozygous truncating variant in GDF9 (c.604C>T; p.(Gln202*). This report helps establish a clear gene-disease association between GDF9 and POI and argues for routine evaluation for GDF9 variants in patients undergoing genomic investigation for POI.
