Guidance for shared decision-making regarding orchiectomy in individuals with differences of sex development due to 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency is a 46,XY difference of sex development (DSD) that may present in childhood with inguinal testes or at puberty following virilization. We present four individuals, assigned female at birth, to highlight complexities and considerations surrounding orchiectomy. We reviewed the literature and created a "FACT sheet" to guide shared decision-making for patients, parents, and providers. "Ruth" presented at 16 months with inguinal herniae and underwent orchiectomy, based on parental preference. "Erica" presented at 13 years with voice deepening; she and her parents chose pubertal suppression and eventual orchiectomy. "Riley" presented at 18 months with inguinal herniae; after pubertal suppression and estrogen replacement, orchiectomy at age 13 years revealed germ cell neoplasia
