A Randomized Controlled Phase 3 Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone in Children With Idiopathic Short Stature.
Trial report in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03635580 (Phase 2 Study of Efficacy and Safety of rhGH), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily somatropin (Jintropin Methods: This study was a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, phase 3 study. All subjects were randomized 3:1 to daily somatropin 0.05 mg/kg/day or no treatment for 52 weeks. A total of 481 subjects with a mean baseline age of 5.8 years were enrolled in the study. The primary endpoint was change in (△) height standard deviation score (HT-SDS) for chronological age (CA). Secondary endpoints included △height from baseline; △bone age (BA)/CA; △height velocity (HV) and △insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1 SDS). Results: △HT-SDS at week 52 was 1.04 ± 0.31 in the treatment group and 0.20 ± 0.33 in the control group ( Conclusions: Daily subcutaneous administration of somatropin at 0.05 mg/kg/day for 52 weeks demonstrated improvement in growth outcomes and was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile.
