Reference Ranges of Age-Based Liver, Spleen, Pancreas, and Kidney Size in Conjunction with Waist Circumference in Children.
Article in Turkish archives of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveIn the initial phases of parenchymal diseases, the only finding would be an increase in organ size. We aimed to provide percentile charts of solid intraabdominal organ sizes by age for Turkish children on contrast-enhanced computed tomography images and reveal relative size ratios. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 800 abdominal computed tomography examinations of otherwise healthy children (468 males, 332 females) were enrolled. The transverse diameter and lengths of both liver lobes, the thickness of the pancreas, width and length of the spleen, and anteroposterior diameters and lengths of both kidneys were measured. Differences in mean diameters among ages were compared with the analysis of variance test. Pearson's correlation was assessed to depict the association of size with age and waist circumference.
resultsPercentile charts for all measured size parameters that presented statistically significant positive correlations with age and waist circumference were provided. There were constant ratios of the right liver lobe to the left liver lobe (1.9 ± 0.37), right liver lobe to the right kidney (1.56 ± 0.26), left to the right kidney (1.03 ± 0.09), and spleen to the left kidney (1 ± 0.2) lengths in every age groups. Age (years)-dependant regression equation for waist circumference (mm) was depicted as "22 × age + 408."
conclusionAge-based percentile charts of solid intraabdominal organ diameters along with relative organ size ratios were provided.
