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

A 10-year-old female with cystic fibrosis (CF), diagnosed by newborn screen, and pancreatic insufficiency was referred by gastroenterology to endocrinology for short stature (Z-score -3.5 SD). She had poor growth velocity and delayed bone age, although stunting of her growth was evident by age 6 years. Her karyotype was consistent with Turner syndrome (45,X). Growth hormone therapy has improved her growth velocity; she is tolerating it without side effects. At 12 years old, she has delayed puberty due to primary ovarian failure and will initiate estrogen replacement. Her case highlights the importance of a comprehensive evaluation for short stature in individuals with CF. Poor growth velocity and extreme short stature should not be dismissed as expected comorbidities of CF. The differential for causes of short stature is broad, with some etiologies having significant sequalae and increased morbidity beyond that already seen in CF.
