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

Objective: To investigate the molecular etiology in a male child clinically suspected of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with negative conventional genetic testing, and to elucidate the genetic characteristics of his pedigree. Methods: Clinical data from the proband and his family members were collected. Molecular diagnostics proceeded sequentially: initial targeted CAH testing ( Results: The proband presented with neonatal cyanosis and hyperpigmentation. Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated ACTH (354.68 pmol/L) and low aldosterone (57.24 pg/mL). Molecular genetic testing identified a hemizygous deletion of approximately 4.44 Mb at Xp21.3-p21.1 (chrX:g.27080000_31520000), encompassing the Conclusion: This study ultimately diagnosed the proband with Xp21 contiguous gene deletion syndrome. The adrenal insufficiency resulted from X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia (AHC) due to
