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

backgroundComplete androgen insensitivity syndrome is caused by inactivated mutations in the androgen receptor gene, which results in complete androgen resistance and a female phenotype with a 46,XY karyotype. This condition is rare in twins. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on a Han Chinese twin girl, aged 18 years, with the presence of a vagina and breasts but no uterus and ovaries and chromosomal karyotype analysis showing 46, XY, who was diagnosed with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. The patient underwent bilateral gonadectomy and hormone replacement therapy, and pathological diagnosis showed immature testicular tissue development.

conclusionIn addition to rebuilding the external genitalia and preventing the emergence of gonadal tumors, continuing hormone replacement therapy after surgery is critical for the treatment of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, and patients' psychological difficulties should be addressed.
