A rare case of a 34-year-old patient diagnosed late with Kallmann syndrome: case report.

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
Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder manifested by the combination of hypogonadotropic-hypogonadism and olfactory dysfunction. It is usually diagnosed at 14 - 16 years of age due to delayed puberty. However, delays in diagnosis have been reported in a few cases. We presented a 34-year-old man presented with primary infertility as the chief complaint. Physical examination revealed bilateral gynecomastia, Tanner stage 2, and anosmia. Hormonal studies show a hypogonadotropic hypogonadism profile. Genetic testing revealed a normal male karyotype. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) revealed a small prostate, and testicular USG demonstrated small testicles. Neuroimaging study revealed olfactory bulb agenesis and hypoplasia of the olfactory sulcus. Treatment was done by testosterone replacement therapy, and the patient is now on a regular follow-up. In conclusion, suspected clinical features of KS may guide the diagnosis with comprehensive hormonal and imaging studies. However, the reported patient was diagnosed extremely late.
