Human growth hormone level decreased in women aged <60 years but increased in men aged >50 years.

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
To investigate the relationship amongst human growth hormone (HGH), sex, and age groups.A cross-sectional study was conducted on a health check-up population from Wannan area of China from 2014 to 2016. The study involved 6843 individuals aged 23 to 85 years. Logistic regression analysis and smooth curve were applied to determine the relationship amongst age, sex, and HGH.The average level of HGH in the population was 0.37 ± 0.59 ng/mL. There were significant differences in sex, age, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and glucose (GLU) amongst different quartiles of HGH (P < .001). A U-shape relationship was established between HGH and age. After sex stratification, the results showed that the thresholds of age were 60 years in women, and 50 years in men, after adjusting for body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose. Logistic regression showed that HGH level decreased in women aged <60 years (OR = 1.472, P < .001) and increased in men aged >50 years (OR = 0.711, P < .001). So the distributive characteristics of HGH concentration vary with sex and age group.
