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: A firm diagnosis revealing the etiology of disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) is most helpful in guiding clinical management. The aim of this study is to investigate molecular genetic diagnoses and surgical treatment in a cohort of children with 46,XY DSD. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on children with 46,XY DSD. They were referred to a tertiary surgical center during the period between 2011 and 2022 and were found to have genetic alterations, which were considered etiologies for their DSD. Data on clinical presentations, sex of rearing, genetic findings, surgical treatment, and comorbidities were collected and reviewed. Results: A total of 21 patients were included in the study: 11 and 10 were reared as male and female, respectively. Genetic alterations were found as the causes for androgen insensitivity syndrome ( Conclusions: Molecular genetic diagnosis enhances the understanding of etiology, improves diagnostic accuracy, and provides precise guidance in the counseling and surgical management of children with 46,XY DSD.
