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

Failure to thrive is one of the most common complaints in the endocrinology and genetics clinic. An 8-month-old girl with presentation of motor developmental delay, failure to thrive, and midline facial defects, with history of hypoglycemia at birth and central congenital hypothyroidism (CCH), was brought to our genetic clinic. Hormone test demonstrated combined pituitary hormone deficiency with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), central hypothyroidism, and hypoprolactinemia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed anterior pituitary hypoplasia (APH), abnormal pituitary stalk, and preserved posterior pituitary lobe. Whole exome sequence (WES) identified a compound heterozygous mutation of the
