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

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by unresponsiveness to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) with preserved mineralocorticoid secretion. We describe 2 patients who presented with FGD. The first patient was born to a third-degree consanguineous marriage, and suffered from global developmental delay and recurrent seizures since childhood. He presented to us at age 22 years with severe hyponatremia. Laboratory investigations showed subclinical hypothyroidism, low cortisol, high ACTH, and normal plasma renin activity. After exclusion of common causes of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI), we undertook whole-exome sequencing (WES) that revealed 2 variants-a hemizygous deletion involving exons 10 to 21 of the
