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

backgroundA questionnaire-based survey was conducted to evaluate attitudes towards a reusable self-injection system, SurePal™, among paediatric patients with growth disturbances who were prescribed treatment with somatropin (Omnitrope

methodsThis cross-sectional survey was incorporated into the multinational, multi-centre, noninterventional PAtients TReated with Omnitrope

resultsFinal results from participants in France are reported. Completed questionnaires were returned by 409 participants. Most patients (55%) were male and 89% were recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH)-treatment naïve. Around 57% of children completed the questionnaire by themselves, while 43% had help from a family member/other person. The mean (standard deviation) age of all participants was 11.3 (3.6) years, and most patients were aged 10-12 years (

conclusionsThis questionnaire-based survey conducted in a large cohort of paediatric patients with growth disturbances from France confirms the ease of use of SurePal™ to support daily administration of Omnitrope
