Management of Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome in children and in adults, with particular emphasis on the treatment with recombinant human growth hormone.
Review in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetically determined disease that manifests itself in a number of abnormalities resulting, among others, from dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary system. Only integrated, multidisciplinary care gives patients the chance to significantly improve the quality of life and achieve a life expectancy that does not differ from the general population.
aimThe aim of the study was to summarize the available literature on the management of patients suffering from PWS.
conclusionsMore and more reports based on clinical trials conducted around the world indicate the undeniable benefits of rhGH therapy in patients with PWS in childhood and after the end of growth period. They consist in improving the body composition, improving the lipid profile, increasing bone mineral density and improving the mental state and patients' quality of life.
