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

Nonclassic P450 oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency (PORD) may remain suspected but unconfirmed in adult women with long-standing menstrual irregularity and infertility when skeletal anomalies, virilization, and overt adrenal insufficiency are absent. We report a 45-year-old Japanese woman in whom PORD had been suspected during infertility care at age 34 because of an inappropriately elevated, nonluteal progesterone value with no marked 17-hydroxyprogesterone elevation, but genetic testing was not pursued. Reevaluation for recurrent abnormal uterine bleeding and a large ovarian cyst prompted 3-point liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) steroid profiling at baseline, after cosyntropin 250 µg, and during combined dexamethasone-hydrocortisone treatment. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation produced disproportionate accumulation of adrenal steroid intermediates, which decreased markedly during combined glucocorticoid treatment, supporting ACTH-dependent adrenal steroid accumulation.
