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

A case is reported herein of a true hermaphrodite (TH) with an ovotestis, a uterus, a vagina, and an underdeveloped phallus. The patient was raised by his parents as a male, based on the presence of a phallus with ambiguous genitalia. He started experiencing breast enlargement at the age of 14 and menarche by the age of 17. He was reviewed using ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen, and karyotyping, and the reports showed evidence of Mullerian structures and 46 XX karyotyping. Based on the preferences of the patient and his parents and their psychological outlook toward the male gender, a total mastectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral gonadectomy, and total vaginectomy were performed. This was followed by reconstruction of the male genitalia and supplemented with male hormone replacement therapy. Accordingly, a TH was assigned a male gender.
