The Spectrum of Hypogonadism in Women From Basrah.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Background Determining the causes of female hypogonadism is crucial for guiding management and preventing complications. This study aimed to categorize the causes of female hypogonadism in Basrah and identify its frequency. Methodology This retrospective single-center study analyzed 1,111 women diagnosed with hypogonadism between 2008 and 2024 and described its etiology in women less than 45 years old (before menopause). The study was conducted in the Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolism Center in Basrah, southern Iraq. Cases were classified into hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism according to specific causes such as disorders of sex development or difference (DSDs). Results The most frequent etiology in the 1,111 patients was hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, documented in 844 (76%) cases; functional amenorrhea was predominant in 402 (47.63%) of them. Next were 218 (20%) cases of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. DSDs were documented in a small percentage of female hypogonadism cases; in only 49 (4%) cases was congenital adrenal hyperplasia the most common (57.14%). Conclusions The results of this study provide useful clinical insights into the frequency of female hypogonadism in Basrah.
