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

Isochromosome mosaic Turner syndrome (IMTS) is a rare genetic variant of Turner syndrome (TS). The diagnosis of TS can be missed until adolescence or early adulthood in females with minimal symptoms. The clinical features of mosaic TS can be atypical and should be evaluated thoroughly to detect potential complications. Here, we describe a unique report of a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with IMTS, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and multiple meningiomas. She presented with decreased responsiveness and decreased appetite. She had primary amenorrhea, hearing loss, and visual impairment for which focused medical care was not sought. Physical examination revealed short stature, short neck, Tanner stage 3 breast, Tanner stage 1 vaginal development, and absent axillary and pubic hair, which led us to a clinical diagnosis of TS. A transabdominal ultrasound revealed a hypoplastic uterus with no visualized ovaries. A slit lamp examination revealed bilateral immature cataracts and optic atrophy. An audiogram confirmed sensorineural hearing loss. The intelligence quotient was below average. Hormonal assays showed hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and secondary adrenal insufficiency, which is not a feature of TS. This abnormal hormonal assay prompted us to do magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, which showed meningiomas in the suprasellar region and left cerebellopontine angle. Karyotyping revealed 46,X,i(X)(q10)(37)/45,X(3), which was suggestive of IMTS. The patient required a multidisciplinary approach in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management, which included hormone replacement therapy and supportive and psychological care.
