Hypothalamic suppression during adolescence varies by bone envelope.

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
purposeThe purposes of this study were to suppress estradiol levels in adolescent (postpubertal rats) using gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-a) injections and to determine the changes in bone structure and mechanical strength.
methodsIn an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee-approved study, female rats at 23 d of age were assigned to a baseline group (BL65; n = 10) sacrificed on day 65, a control group (Control; n = 15) sacrificed on day 90, or an experimental group (AMEN; n = 9) sacrificed on day 90 that received daily injections of GnRH-a for a 25-d period from 65 to 90 d of age (2.5 mg·kg(-1) per dose).
resultsBody weights were similar on day 65; however, the AMEN group was significantly heavier than the Control group (17%, P = 0.001) on day 90. In the AMEN rats relative to the Control group, plasma estradiol levels were reduced by 36% (P = 0.0001) and plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 levels were 24% higher (P = 0.003). In the femur, there was no change in periosteal bone apposition or total cross-sectional area. The marrow area increased by 13.7% (P = 0.05) resulting in a 7.8% decrease in relative cortical area (P = 0.012), and endocortical bone formation rate increased by 39.4% (P = 0.04). Trabecular volume and number decreased by 51.5% (P = 0.0003) and 49.5% (P = 0.0003), respectively. The absolute peak moments of the tibiae and femurs were unchanged in the AMEN group relative to the Control group, but these were reduced by 8.8% (P = 0.03) and 7.5% (P = 0.09), respectively, when normalized by body weight.
conclusionsSuppression of estradiol by 25 d of GnRH-a administration to 65-d-old (postpubertal) rats reduced trabecular volume and number by about 50%, increased endocortical bone turnover, and reduced relative cortical thickness without changing tibial and femoral total area. These changes in bone structure were associated with no change in absolute mechanical strength possibly because of increases in body weight or in insulin-like growth factor 1 concentrations.
