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

An 8-year-old girl presented with vaginal bleeding without puberty signs. During investigation at 10 years old, the patient presented with advanced bone age, prepubertal hormone levels and internal genitalia. Hysteroscopy and vaginoscopy at 10 years and 10 months of age revealed endometrial proliferation despite infantile genitalia. Histopathology showed positive receptors for estrogen and progesterone. This is the first report of endometrial estrogen and progesterone receptor activity in this context. Despite normal serum estradiol, the findings suggest a local action of estrogen. Follow-up until 11 years of age showed progressive development of secondary sexual characteristics. This case report emphasizes the need to consider isolated vaginal bleeding, without the development of secondary sexual characteristics, as a result of endometrial hypersensitivity to low estrogen levels during pubertal development, which may alter the chronology of pubertal development in girls.
