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

backgroundThere is no published literature on the profile of patients with tall stature (TS) from India. This study aimed to evaluate the etiological and clinical profile of patients with TS referred to our hospital. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective review of records of patients referred to us for evaluation of TS (January 2007 to March 2020). Relevant clinical, anthropometric, biochemical, and radiological data at presentation were recorded, and the final diagnosis reviewed.

resultsThe study included 16 subjects (6 boys, 10 girls) with a mean age at presentation of 13.2 ± 3.6 years. Most subjects were pubertal (

conclusionFamilial TS is the most common diagnosis among patients referred for evaluation to our hospital. One should consider the possibility of acrogigantism in patients with growth acceleration, extreme TS, and markedly increased gap between height SDS and MPH SDS. Most patients with familial TS require reassurance and sex steroid therapy should be reserved for highly selected cases.
