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

aim of the studyTo describe the clinical, auxological, biochemical and radiological response to GnRH analogue in female children with central precocious puberty (CPP). MATERIAL AND

methodsThe data on 22 female children presenting with the larche < 8 years, pubarche < 8 years or menarche < 9 years diagnosed as CPP was collected from the records over a four year period. Assessment included growth parameters, Tanners staging; bone age (BA) by Greulich and Pyle method, ultrasonography of abdomen to assess uterine length and ovarian size and z score derived; biochemical evaluation included serum luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2); and MRI brain. The children were initiated on injection Leupride 0.9 mg/kg 3 monthly (body weight   30 kg received 22.5 mg). The predicted adult height (PAH) was calculated with Bayley Pinneau method.

resultsTreatment was started at the mean chronological age (CA) of 6.09 ±2.1 years and continued till 8.3 ±2.4 years. MRI brain was abnormal in 4 children. Duration of treatment was 2.1 ±0.4 years. The height z scores reduced from 0.5 ±2.4 to 0.18 ±2.4 (p < 0.05). A significant reduction in tanner's stage, uterine size and ovarian volume was observed in the study period. BA/CA ratio reduced from 1.27 ±0.4 to 1.07 ±0.3. PAH z score improved from 1.47 ±1.6 to 0.2 ±2.3 (p < 0.05).

conclusionsWe observed a good clinical and radiological response to GnRHa therapy in girls with CPP and a significant improvement in PAH. Long term follow up is needed to assess the attainment of final height.
