Missed opportunities in the treatment of Turner syndrome: a case discussion and review of the guidelines.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A woman in her 50s with Turner syndrome was referred to the endocrine clinic, having been unaware of her diagnosis until she received a shielding letter from the UK government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a neonatal diagnosis of Turner syndrome on her general practitioner record and despite having undergone laparoscopic examination for absent puberty and primary amenorrhoea aged 18 years, she had not received any prior hormone treatment or cardiovascular screening.Though Turner syndrome is rare, recent data from the UK Biobank suggest that it may be underdiagnosed. Clinicians should be aware of the clinical features and associated complications of Turner syndrome to avoid delayed diagnosis and missed opportunities for treatment.In this report, we discuss the clinical features of this rare syndrome and current guidelines for screening and treatment. We stress the importance of peer-to-peer support and information sharing through patient-led groups, such as the Turner Syndrome Support Society.
