Genotypic spectrum of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in an endogamous population.

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.
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
backgroundCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to autosomal recessive 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is caused by defects in the CYP21 (CYP21A2) gene. Several mutations have been identified in the CYP21 (CYP21A2) gene of patients with 21-OHD. We aimed at determining the frequency of these mutations among a group of Egyptian patients and studying the genotype-phenotype correlation.
methodsForty-seven patients with CAH due to 21-OHD from 42 different families diagnosed by clinical and hormonal evaluation and classified accordingly into salt wasting (SW) and simple virilizing (SV) phenotypes were enrolled. Their ages ranged between 1.78 and 18.99 years. Molecular analysis of the CYP21 (CYP21A2) gene was performed for the detection of eleven common mutations: P30L, I2 splice (I2 G), Del 8 bp E3 (G110del8nt), I172N, cluster E6 (I236N, V237E, M239K), V281L, L307 frameshift (F306 + T), Q318X, R356W, P453S, R483P by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse hybridization.
resultsDisease-causing mutations were identified in 47 patients, 55.31% of them were compound heterozygous. The most frequent mutations were I2 splice (25.43%), followed by cluster E6 (16.66%) and P30L (15.78%). Two point mutations (P453S, R483P) were not identified in any patient. In the SW patients, genotypes were more compatible with their phenotypes.
conclusionMolecular characterization should be considered along with clinical and biochemical diagnosis of CAH since it could confirm the diagnosis, outline the treatment strategy and morbidity, and ensure proper genetic counseling.
