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

Dubowitz syndrome (DS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple morphological abnormalities, short stature, and different degrees of mental disability. Endocrinological evaluation should be done for these subjects, as they can suffer from multiple hormonal derangements. We present a case of a 12-year-old Lebanese girl, diagnosed with Dubowitz syndrome, who presented to our clinic for short stature. She had received growth hormones (GHs) and improved her height. More investigations showed the presence of Hashimoto thyroiditis with normal thyroid stimulating hormone, so hormonal follow-up was recommended. The association between Dubowitz syndrome and Hashimoto thyroiditis has not been described so far. Thus, in the setting of this syndrome, it is worthwhile to check for growth hormone deficiency and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
