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

contextAutoimmune disease is common in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), and the genetic etiology of autoimmune disease suggests that it could be hereditary in families of women with POI.

objectiveWe hypothesized that a subset of women with POI and their family members would have an increased risk for autoimmune disorders.

designPopulation-based study using electronic health records from 1995 to 2022.

settingTwo major Utah healthcare systems serving 85% of the state. SUBJECTS: Women with POI (n = 610) were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes and charts were reviewed for accuracy. First-, second-, and third-degree relatives were identified using genealogy data in the Utah Population Database.

interventionAutoimmune diagnoses were identified using ICD codes.

main outcome measuresThe relative risk of autoimmune disease in women with POI and relatives was estimated by comparison to population rates.

resultsAt least 1 autoimmune disease was identified in 25% of women with POI. The relative risk of autoimmune hypothyroidism (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 6.88 [5.71, 8.22]; P < .001), adrenal insufficiency (4.72 [1.73, 10.28]; P = .0020), type 1 diabetes (4.13 [2.14, 7.22]; P = 5.25X10-5), rheumatoid arthritis (5.66 [3.10, 9.50]; P = 3.70X10-7), vitiligo (15.33 [6.16, 31.58]; P = 5.25X10-7), celiac disease (7.58 [3.47, 14.39]; P = 4.47X10-6), psoriasis (3.90 [2.01, 6.81]; P = 9.04X10-5) and systemic lupus erythematosus (4.43 [1.63, 9.64]; P = .0027) were increased in women with POI compared to population rates. There was no increased risk of autoimmune disease in family members.

conclusionData confirm increased autoimmune disease in women with POI. The increased risk is largely related to autoimmune polyglandular syndrome types 1 through 4 and autoimmune hypothyroidism. The absence of risk in family members may result from differences in environmental influences or hormone milieu.
