Mental Health Issues Associated With Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency.
Review 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. Cited by 3 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
contextThe goal of this review is to move beyond summarizing what is known about psychosexual development in females with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency-commonly studied as a natural experiment to understand prenatal androgen effects in 46,XX individuals. Instead, it will explore the various aspects of the condition that significantly impact the daily lives of both male and female patients and their families, with a particular focus on the implications for psychosocial, educational, and vocational adaptation. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: This work represents a selective, yet balanced review of papers highlighting potential threats to positive psychological adaptation in both male and female individuals with CAH. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: This review outlines the effects of both cross-cutting risks (such as challenges related to parenting and healthcare management) and CAH-specific risks (including growth and appearance changes, psychiatric and neurocognitive issues, reduced reproductive function and interest in parenting, and masculinization in girls and women) on psychosocial adaptation. Opportunities for optimizing psychological outcomes of those with CAH are presented.
conclusionRoutine psychosocial screening of patient and family risk and resilience factors is recommended to identify areas of concern applicable to individual patients and families. Such screening should include assessment of both cross-cutting and condition-specific factors. This, in turn, provides a pathway forward for providing quality team-based patient-centered care.
