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

Ovotesticular difference of sex development (OT-DSD) is a rare condition encompassing a broad spectrum of phenotypic variations. We describe a 67-year-old man who presented with complaints of poor urinary stream and hesitancy for the past 6 months. He had normal pubertal development, libido, and erection, but has been experiencing sexual dysfunction and reduced energy over the last 2 years. Physical examination revealed bilateral cryptorchidism with no other genital ambiguities. Laboratory evaluation showed a 46, XY karyotype with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, and imaging revealed müllerian structures with abdominal gonads and a large pelvic mass arising from the right gonad, abutting the bladder. He underwent laparoscopic right gonadectomy and biopsy of the left gonad, which revealed bilateral ovotestes and a serous cystadenofibroma arising from the right ovotestis. Given the low risk of malignancy in OT-DSD, early distinction from other differences of sex development could facilitate the preservation of the gonads, allowing for spontaneous puberty and sustained sexual function.
