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

backgroundPericentric inversion of Chromosome 9 is a common chromosomal abnormality, occasionally linked to clinical conditions such as ambiguous genitalia, warranting its inclusion in differential diagnoses. Sexual ambiguity is a tragic and highly distressing condition that imposes deep emotional and spiritual concerns on the family. Therefore, it is essential to adopt a rational and immediate approach, including clinical, hormonal, genetic, molecular, and radiographic investigations, to determine its cause and guide the therapeutic strategy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old gravida 1 Iranian woman at 37 weeks of pregnancy delivered a 1900-g newborn via cesarean section due to intrauterine growth restriction. The newborn exhibited ambiguous genitalia, including severe hypospadias and a micropenis. Karyotyping revealed a normal chromosomal count with a pericentric inversion of Chromosome 9 (46XY, inv (9) (p12q13)). Hormonal and ultrasound evaluations were normal, and no family history of sexual development disorders was noted.

conclusionPericentric inversion of Chromosome 9 can result in ambiguous genitalia, emphasizing the importance of karyotyping in the diagnostic evaluation for proper management and counseling.
