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

The absence of biochemical newborn screening (NBS) delays the diagnosis and treatment of congenital hypothyroidism (CH), resulting in irreversible neurodevelopmental damage. To determine the age at diagnosis for CH among Algerian children and to describe its clinical and biological characteristics, etiology, and outcome, we conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study involving 288 children with CH across 20 pediatric centers between 2005 and 2023. The median age at diagnosis was 1.6 months, and only 28% of patients started treatment before 30 days. Prolonged neonatal jaundice was the most frequently presented symptom (58%), severe CH (fT
