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

objectiveTo highlight the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management of Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) through a case series of three sisters, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary care.

methodsThree phenotypically female siblings with primary amenorrhea underwent hormonal evaluation, imaging, and genetic testing. Hormonal studies revealed elevated serum testosterone levels, while imaging confirmed the absence of a uterus and ovaries. Karyotyping identified a 46, XY genotype with the presence of the SRY gene, confirming CAIS.

resultsAll three sisters exhibited normal female secondary sexual characteristics despite a 46, XY karyotype. The absence of Müllerian structures on imaging and elevated testosterone levels guided the diagnosis. Multidisciplinary management, including hormonal therapy, psychological support, and surgical planning, was discussed.

conclusionCAIS should be considered in individuals with primary amenorrhea and normal female phenotype. Early diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management, including psychological counseling, gonadectomy when indicated, and hormonal therapy to optimize long-term health and quality of life.
