Age at menarche in a Korean population: secular trends and influencing factors.

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
This study was designed to identify the secular trend in the age at menarche and to investigate the possible factors that influence the age at menarche using representative Korean data from the 2005 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey. Three thousand five hundred sixty-two women born between 1920 and 1985 were enrolled to identify secular trends in the age at menarche and 620 girls born between 1986 and 1995 were recruited to evaluate the factors influencing the age at onset of menarche. Mean age at menarche decreased from 16.90 +/- 1.25 years for women born between 1920 and 1925 to 13.79 +/- 1.37 years for those born between 1980 and 1985, indicating a downward trend of 0.68 years per decade (95% CI, 0.64-0.71) in age at menarche. Mean age at menarche of girls born between 1986 and 1995 was 13.10 +/- 0.06 years as estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Among girls born between 1986 and 1995, menarcheal girls had a larger waist circumference, a higher body mass index (BMI), and lower maternal menarcheal age and maternal age at birth than premenarcheal girls. The energy and nutrient intake of protein, sugar, fiber, ash, phosphate, natrium, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin were greater for menarcheal girls than for premenarcheal girls. These data indicate a decreasing secular trend of age at menarche in a Korean population born between 1920 and 1995. Furthermore, maternal menarcheal age, BMI, maternal age at birth, and nutrition are important variables that appear to influence age at menarche in Korean girls.
