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

Introduction: Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKHS) is a rare congenital disorder with an incidence of 1 in 5000 females. It is characterized by uterovaginal aplasia with normal secondary sexual characteristics and genetic karyotype 46XX. The exact etiology of MRKH syndrome is not known. Case presentation: We report a case of type 2 MRKHS with agenesis of left kidney. Discussion: The diagnosis of MRKH mainly depends on imaging study. Transabdominal ultrasonography is the first line investigation but abdomino-pelvic MRI gives more precise and clear information than the prior. So, we suggested our patient to do MRI even though she had done ultrasonography earlier. The differential diagnosis includes congenital vaginal agenesis, low transverse vaginal septum, androgen insensitivity, and imperforate hymen. Conclusion: This case presents that MRKH syndrome can occur with normal endocrine function and secondary sexual characteristics. Surgical correction by creating a neovagina is a good treatment method in young females for sexual intercourse.
