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

introductionIn recent years, the treatment of idiopathic central precocious puberty using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH) agonist has been considered as a common treatment. To date, there is not much information about the effect of GnRH agonist treatment on pediatric thyroid function.

aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of GnRH treatment on thyroid function tests in children with central idiopathic precocious puberty. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study investigated 50 children with idiopathic precocious puberty treated with GnRH agonist, who were referred to Bahrami pediatric hospital, Tehran, Iran. Patients` height, weight, and symptoms of hypothyroidism were evaluated every two months. Thyroid function tests, T4 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), were reviewed every 6 months. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics, Version 18.

resultsThe majority of the children who participate in this study were female. 72% of children with central idiopathic precocious puberty had a significant increase in TSH level (

conclusionThe results of this study showed that more than 70% of children who were undergoing GnRH agonist treatment for central precocious puberty had impaired thyroid function (especially subclinical hypothyroidism). Therefore, evaluating thyroid function in children with precocious puberty who are under treating with GnRH agonist, would be reasonable; especially one year after initiating the treatment.
