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

Background and purpose: Growth hormone (GH) has been known as a crucial metabolic hormone expressed at the pituitary and the other number of cells and tissues and responsible for body growth. Because of the short half-life of GH, daily subcutaneous injections were shown to be more effective for GH therapy. This represents a burden for patients. So, there is a strong effort from the industry to create a long-acting form of GH and lots of technologies like GH fusion proteins are used to increase GH half-life. Experimental approach: In this study, the Fc domain of human IgG1 with serine-glycine linkers was attached to the C-terminal of a GH superagonist Findings / Results: Our results showed that the novel SupGH-Fc has a good binding affinity to its receptor in ELISA in comparison to standard GH, although it has a big size. Conclusion and implications: Our data in this study clearly demonstrated the expression of the SupGH-Fc in a recombinant protein expression system. It is an introduction to the production of the new recombinant GH, which can bind to its receptor more effectively than commercial growth hormones and also might have a longer half-life.
