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

Background: The molecular etiology and the genotype-phenotype correlation of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) remain unclear. Methods: We performed genetic analysis in 42 newborns with CH using whole-exome sequencing. Patients were divided into a single-gene group and a multi-gene group according to the number of affected genes, or divided into a monoallelic group, a biallelic group, and an oligogenic group according to the pattern of the detected variants. The clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Results: Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) was observed in 10 patients and goiter in 5 patients, whereas 27 patients had normal-sized gland-in-situ (GIS). We identified 58 variants in five genes in 29 patients. The genes with the most frequent variants were Conclusions: Patients with normal-sized GIS accounted for the majority of our cohort. Genetic defects in the genes causing DH were more common than those in the genes causing TD, with biallelic variants in
