Suppression of menstruation in adolescents with severe learning disabilities.
Review in Archives of disease in childhood, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
As girls with severe cognitive developmental delay progress into puberty and become young women with learning disabilities, concerns about menstruation are common amongst carers and health care professionals are often consulted for advice. Very little, however, has been published on this area to guide the practitioner and studies are almost exclusively confined to the gynaecological literature. We aim to give an account of the various therapeutic options available and current practice within the paediatric endocrinology unit at our institution.
