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

The thyroid transcription factor 1 (TITF-1) gene plays an important role in the development of the ventral forebrain, thyroid and lungs. Mutations of this gene are known to cause benign hereditary chorea (BHC) and can cause the full spectrum of abnormalities seen in the brain-thyroid-lung syndrome. Abnormalities of the ventral forebrain on imaging have been variably documented in the literature. Multiple previous reports describe a cystic pituitary mass, as well as duplication of the pituitary stalk and communication between an intrasellar cyst and the third ventricle. The initial MRI performed in our case was interpreted as an intrasellar cyst, but the high-resolution MRI performed later was able to resolve this as a persisting embryonal infundibular recess (PEIR), rather than the cystic pituitary mass which has previously been described. This case illustrates the role of the TITF-1 gene in the development of the pituitary and hypothalamus.
