Normal intellectual ability and hyperprolactinemia as unique clinical manifestations of congenital hypothyroidism: A case report and review of hypotheses.

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
Congenital hypothyroidism is the deficiency of thyroid hormone in infants and hyperprolactinemia is frequently observed. Previously reported cases typically involve intellectual disability, highlighting this particular unique case report to the first reported patient demonstrating normal intellectual ability despite experiencing growth and gonad dysfunction. This study aims to present a case and review medical hypotheses related to the patient's condition. A 19-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of irregular menstruation for up to 40 days or not occurring at all. The patient experienced the first menstruation at the age of 16 years old. The patient's height was 133 cm, body weight 40 kg, and body mass index 22.61 kg/m2; other family members were normal. Physical examination showed no abnormalities, and laboratory examination showed suppressed serum free T4 (FT4) level (6.41 pmol/L), elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level (333.700 µIU/mL), and elevated prolactin hormone level (32.03 ng/mL). Ultrasound of the thyroid gland found hypoplasia of the left and right thyroid glands. The patient was a college student enrolled in a public national university and had never complained about academic performance throughout the patient's education. The patient was diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia. The patient was administered up to 100 µg daily of oral levothyroxine, which improved the patient's menstrual cycles. The patient's delayed diagnosis may be attributed to central congenital hypothyroidism being underdiagnosed. We hypothesized that thyroid-releasing hormone receptor (
