Rare Case of Growth Hormone Insensitivity Syndrome Correlated With Hypothyroidism: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature due to the body's inability to effectively utilize growth hormone (GH). This case report describes a patient with concurrent hypothyroidism and GHIS. This patient is an 11-year-old female presented with short stature; general examination suggested a prominent forehead and a depressed nasal bridge. Laboratory evaluations revealed elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels alongside low levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), indicating hypothyroidism. Additionally, elevated GH levels and significantly reduced insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels confirmed the diagnosis of GHIS. The patient was managed with thyroid hormone replacement therapy and recombinant GH. This dual therapeutic approach will lead to improvements in both thyroid function and growth parameters. This case underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing coexisting endocrine disorders in patients with GHIS to optimize their growth and developmental outcomes. Early diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment strategy are essential for managing such complex cases effectively.
