Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia syndrome in a Sudanese patient: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare genodermatosis characterised by defects in the development of ectodermal tissues, primarily affecting hair, teeth, and sweat glands. It can be inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked patterns. Mutations in the EDA, EDAR, or EDARADD genes, which encode Ectodysplasin-A, the EDA receptor, and a death domain, respectively, are responsible for HED. A 36-year-old Sudanese male presented with hypohidrosis, hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and Ichthyosis without an obvious family history of the HED syndrome. Six members of his extended family were selected to investigate the mutation in the EDA gene and its inheritance. No deletions or mutations were detected in EDA coding exons. The patient is advised on environmental modifications to avoid overheating. This case highlights the potential involvement of other genes and recommends further genetic testing.
