From Genes to Ambiguity: A Case Study Exploring the Enigmatic Connection Between Chromosome 13q Deletion Syndrome and Ambiguous Genitalia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
During development, the deletion of DNA from chromosome 13's short arm (q) causes a chromosomal abnormality known as chromosome 13q deletion syndrome. Chromosome 13 terminal deletions are rare and may cause various congenital disabilities, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The extent of chromosome 13q deletion syndrome changes lacks consistent clinical features, with no recorded cases of genital ambiguity until now. We report the case of a newborn male patient whose testes had descended on both sides; he had ambiguous genitalia, and the dorsal surface of his penis was attached to his scrotal sac. An abnormal karyotype (46, XY, deletion (13) q33) was discovered by using a G-banding analysis of chromosomes in a blood sample taken from the periphery, which revealed a deletion of chromosome 13 at the end of the first 10 cells. We can better characterize chromosome 13q deletions by establishing stronger correlations between karyotype and the distinctive phenotypes of haploinsufficient genes found on the chromosome.
