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

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder marked by cortisol deficiency, it often presents with adrenal crises and ambiguous genitalia in 46, XX neonates. Isolated cleft palate (ICP) is a congenital defect resulting from incomplete palatal fusion. The co-occurrence of CAH and ICP is extremely rare. We report a 19-day-old Nigerian neonate with ambiguous genitalia and cleft palate. Laboratory findings revealed hyperkalaemia, hyponatremia, and metabolic acidosis, suggestive of salt-wasting CAH. Physical examination showed clitoromegaly, fused labioscrotal folds, and absent vaginal opening. Despite limited diagnostic resources, a clinical diagnosis of CAH was made, and hormone and electrolyte therapy were initiated. Multidisciplinary care was provided for both CAH and ICP. This case highlights the importance of coordinated management in rare congenital presentations and calls for further research into potential links between these anomalies.
