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

Individuals who exhibit male external genitalia and testicular tissue despite a 46,XX karyotype with SRY-Negative represent an exceptionally rare phenotype of disorders of sex development (DSD), and the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. We report an 18-year-old patient with a 46,XX karyotype and a male phenotype who presented with a 2-year history of left scrotal pain. Physical examination demonstrated male-type external genitalia. Imaging revealed a uterine-like structure within the left hemiscrotum with intracavitary blood accumulation suggestive of retained menstrual blood, and testicular-like tissue in the right hemiscrotum; these findings were subsequently confirmed by surgical exploration and histopathology. In addition, ovarian tissue structures were also identified in the pathological specimens. Endocrine evaluation showed abnormally elevated serum levels of luteinizing hormone and estradiol, with abnormally decreased of testosterone. Our report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of SRY-negative 46,XX DSD with a male phenotype and provides clinically relevant insights for differential diagnosis, pathogenetic considerations, and individualized management.
