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

Objective: The primary outcome was the evaluation of the T-cell phenotype in autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). Secondary outcomes included the evaluation of the CD4 Methods: We prospectively included 15 patients with PAI on conventional glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy, 15 switched to dual-release hydrocortisone (DR-HC), and 20 healthy controls. Serum inflammatory parameters and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were evaluated at baseline and after 12 months of treatment. Result: At baseline, significantly higher CD4 Conclusions: The switch from conventional GCs to DR-HC treatment altered the T lymphocyte phenotype and CD4
