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

Growth hormone (GH) secretion is related to many factors, such as weight and puberty, and the reproducibility of GH provocation tests is very poor. This study aimed to evaluate whether the triglyceride (TyG) index was associated with peak GH in children with short stature. This study included 1095 children with short stature divided into two groups based on peak GH level in GH provocation tests [GH deficiency (GHD) group = 733 children; non-GHD group = 362 children]. We found that the TyG index was significantly higher in the GHD group than in the non-GHD group (P < 0.001). A nonlinear relationship was detected between the TyG index and peak GH, whose point was 7.8. A significant negative association between the TyG index and peak GH was observed when the TyG index was greater than 7.8 (β - 2.61, 95% CI - 3.98, - 1.24; P < 0.001), whereas, the relationship between the TyG index and peak GH was not significant when the TyG index was lower than 7.8 (β 0.25, 95% CI - 1.68, 2.17; P = 0.799). There is a nonlinear relationship between the TyG index and peak GH, and a higher TyG index is associated with decreased peak GH in children with short stature.
