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

A standard growth chart is indispensable for evaluating an individual's growth. In Japan, the cross-sectional growth chart from fiscal year 2000 is most commonly used in the clinical setting. However, when using the current standard growth chart to assess growth during puberty, two problems are encountered. First, the individual pubertal height trajectory does not fit the cross-sectional growth chart because the pubertal height curve of individuals rises more sharply than that indicated by the cross-sectional growth chart. Second, variations in the timing of an individuals' growth spurt render it difficult or impossible to assess individual growth patterns using a single chart. To address these two issues, new growth charts were established using height measurements of 6744 boys and 6929 girls born between April 1975 and March 1976 in the Akita Prefecture. Individuals whose age at peak height velocity (age
