Increased Insulin Concentrations During Growth Hormone Treatment in Girls With Turner Syndrome Are Ameliorated by Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by complete or partial loss of one sex chromosome and is commonly associated with short stature, metabolic changes (such as central obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance and high triglycerides) and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Primary management of TS during childhood and adolescence comprises treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) and, in cases with early loss of ovarian function, hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Given that metabolic parameters are altered when HRT is applied during menopause, we analyzed whether metabolic changes might be positively or negatively affected within 10 years after HRT and/or hGH in girls with TS. Design: Observational study. Methods: Data were collected from the medical records of 31 girls with TS attending two endocrinologic centers in Germany between 2000 and 2020. Descriptive statistics are reported as the mean ± SEM or percentages. Results: The mean age at first presentation was 99.06 ± 8.07 months, the mean height was 115.8 ± 3.94 cm, and the mean BMI 19.0 ± 0.99 was kg/m Conclusion: Treatment with hGH and HRT is provided to most girls with TS. Metabolic effects are associated with both modalities. Monitoring of metabolic changes appears to be important to detect unfavorable effects, and could guide treatment adjustment and duration.
