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

The Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome (VWGS) (hypothyroidism, ovarian mass, and precocious puberty) has been extensively documented in the literature as long-term hypothyroidism manifesting as an ovarian mass. The authors of this study describe this entity in a young girl, aged 10, who presented with abdominal pain with a multiloculated ovarian cyst. She was evaluated, and it was discovered that she had delayed bone age, precocious puberty, and a small height. Following her diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis and the initiation of thyroxine replacement therapy, the ovarian cysts spontaneously regressed. To avoid needless assessment and surgical mishaps, this entity should be considered in situations of ovarian mass, particularly those with precocious puberty and thyroid disorders.
