Prevalence of Psychiatric Comorbidities in Females With Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
contextAlthough the increased burden of mental health problems among patients with classic 46,XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is well-documented, it remains unclear if this comorbidity is attributable to the burden of living with a chronic medical condition or the potential psychosocial/sexual consequences of being born with a difference of sex development (DSD) and its associated clinical management.
objectiveTo compare the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among patients with CAH and 3 reference groups: matched males and females from the general population, and females with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
methodsThis was a retrospective cross-sectional study using 3 large integrated health systems. Participants included patients with CAH (n = 115), general population male and female referents (n = 1150 per group), and 66 002 female T1DM referents.
resultsThe prevalence of depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and suicidal ideation was higher among CAH participants than in males and females from the general population, but similar to or lower than in T1DM referents. Patients with CAH were more likely to be diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders than both female reference groups, whereas the prevalence of elimination disorders (predominantly enuresis) and gender dysphoria was higher in the CAH cohort than in all reference groups.
conclusionFemales with classic CAH experience a higher burden of psychiatric illness, including anxiety and depression, than demographically similar men and women in the general population. The similar psychiatric burden between females with CAH and T1DM suggests that morbidity may be influenced by the challenges associated with managing a chronic condition. Investigating long-term mental health trajectories in this population will require longitudinal studies.
