Growth Pattern in Children with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesChildren with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) enter adulthood with considerable morbidity. Of the recognized morbidities, growth failure is unique to cSLE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth pattern in children with cSLE longitudinally and identify possible risk factors.
methodsSerial anthropometric measurements of cSLE patients were obtained over two years and expressed as z-scores. Parental heights were obtained to calculate target height. Parent-adjusted height z-score was calculated as the difference between height z-score and target height. Growth failure was defined as parent-adjusted height z-score
resultsTwenty-five patients were included in the study. Growth failure was observed in eight patients with an overall incidence of 32.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 14-50%). When comparing the cohort with and without growth failure, the factors that determined growth failure was the pre-existence of growth failure at the time of diagnosis (z-score < -1.95 vs. 0.35;
conclusionsChildren with cSLE are at risk of having a negative effect on height including patients with pre-existing growth failure, high cumulative steroid dose, and longer disease duration. However, longitudinal prospective studies are needed to examine damage over time to improve health-related quality of life.
