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

Objective: The present study aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of the Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and single 60-minute post gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist stimulation test for idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls. Methods: Data from 1,492 girls diagnosed with precocious puberty who underwent GnRH agonist stimulation testing between January 1, 2016, and October 8, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. LH levels and LH/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratios were measured by immuno-chemiluminescence assay before and at several timepoints after GnRH analogue stimulation testing. Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's correlation, χ Results: The 1,492 subjects were split into two groups: an idiopathic CPP group ( Conclusions: A basal LH value greater than 0.535 mIU/L can be used to diagnose CPP without a GnRH agonist stimulation test. A single 60-minute post-stimulus gonadotropin result of LH and LH/FSH can be used instead of a GnRH agonist stimulation test, or samples can be taken only at 0, 30, and 60 minutes after a GnRH agonist stimulation test. This reduces the number of blood draws required compared with the traditional stimulation test, while still achieving a high level of diagnostic accuracy.
