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

Klinefelter syndrome is the most commonly reported sex chromosome abnormality. It is heavily underdiagnosed due to the substantial variability of clinical presentations but is generally characterized by small, firm testes, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, and the absence of spermatogenesis. Most patients with Klinefelter syndrome have a 47,XXY genotype. If they present with mosaicism, two different cell lines are usually identified, an aneuploid 47,XXY cell line and a normal male 46,XY cell line. There are very few cases of 47,XXY mosaicism with the additional female cell line 46,XX described in the literature. We report a case of an adolescent with the male phenotype and a rare variant mosaic 47,XXY/46,XX karyotype who presented with painless bilateral gynaecomastia. 47,XXY and 46,XX mosaic cell lines were identified with GTG-banding and further characterized using fluorescent in situ hybridization. We summarized the available clinical presentations of reported male patients with 47,XXY/46,XX mosaicism. To improve the clinical management and quality of life in individuals with rare and cryptic genomic imbalances, the genetic diagnosis would need to be extended to atypical cases.
