Presentation of Sex Chromosomal Disorders of Sex Development With Genital Ambiguity: A Case Report on a Rare Medical Condition.

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
Klinefelter syndrome (KS; XXY syndrome) is a common chromosomal abnormality associated with various physical and developmental characteristics. It rarely presents with ambiguous genitalia, a feature more typical of disorders of sex development (DSDs). Here, we describe a case of a five-month-old male infant with 47,XXY karyotype who presented with ambiguous genitalia which include bifid scrotum, small phallus, and penoscrotal hypospadias. Initial anthropometry and ultrasound evaluations were followed by hormonal and genetic analyses. Elevated follicle-stimulating hormone and low testosterone levels led to further testing, including a human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation test and karyotyping, which confirmed 47,XXY KS. This case underscores the need for thorough genetic evaluation in infants presenting with ambiguous genitalia, highlighting that KS can present with features overlapping DSDs. Comprehensive diagnostic approaches combining genetic, endocrinological, and clinical assessments are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. This case aims to raise awareness among paediatricians about the potential for atypical genital presentations in KS and the importance of karyotype analysis in such scenarios.
