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

McCune-Albright Syndrome is a rare condition with a clinical diagnosis, typically suspected when the classic triad is present: café-au-lait spots, fibrous dysplasia of bone and endocrinopathy. Therapeutic management depends on the endocrine involvement and the severity of bone disease. We here report an original case of a 2-year and 8-month-old girl presenting with precocious puberty revealing McCune-Albright syndrome. The diagnosis was suspected due to premature menarche and premature thelarche associated with café-au-lait spots. Biochemically, estradiol levels were elevated at 179 ng/ml with low FSH and LH levels. ALHRH test demonstrated a flat FSH LH profile with a peak LH/FSH ratio < 1, confirming the peripheral origin of precocious puberty. X-ray of the wrist showed a heterogeneous bone texture suggestive of fibrous dysplasia. To control vaginal bleeding and reduce hyperestrogenism, treatment with third-generation aromatase inhibitors "Letrozole" was prescribed with good clinical and biochemical outcome. This study highlights the importance of thorough clinical examination including skin and mucosal examination in any case of precocious puberty to ensure accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
