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
purposeTo report a case with combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) and Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene defect, and summarize the clinical characteristics of similar cases by reviewing the current reports from the literature.
methodsA 24-year-old woman was admitted to the outpatient endocrinology unit with a diagnosis of primary amenorrhea, history of Growth Hormone deficiency and multiple congenital anomalies including rectal atresia. The subsequent hormonal investigation led to the diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and persistent GH deficiency. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds were normal whereas the brain MRI revealed a hypoplastic sella turcica with a hypoplastic anterior pituitary lobe, an ectopic posterior pituitary lobe and a thin pituitary stalk. The genetic analysis revealed a novel pathogenic missense heterozygous variant (c.1958G > A, p.Agr635Gln) in exon 15 of FGFR1 gene. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for the identification of studies reporting cases of CPHD with FGFR1 gene defects.
resultsOf the 648 records retrieved, 10 were included in this review. A comprehensive overview of the cases was summarized, and their clinical and genetic characteristics were presented.
conclusionAlthough FGFR1 variants have been associated with Kallmann syndrome and isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and recently with CPHD, the patient's phenotype includes phenotypic alterations not previously described, to the best of our knowledge, within the spectrum of non-reproductive features of either of these entities. Isolated GH deficiency combined with other non-common abnormalities exerts a great possibility for subsequent CPHD manifestation.
