Evaluation of nine formulas for estimating the body surface area of children with hematological malignancies.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objectives: Body surface area (BSA) is an important parameter in clinical practice for children. To find out the most accurate BSA formula for Chinese children, nine formulas were compared. Methods: This single-center study comprised children who were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and treated with anticancer agents in a specialized children's hospital in China from January 2017 to December 2020. The BSA values were calculated using the formulas from Boyd, Banerjee and Bhattacharya, Costeff, Fujimoto and Watanabe, Haycock, Gehan and George, Mosteller, Stevenson and a Pediatrics textbook. The arithmetic mean of formulas was calculated as the "gold standard" for comparison. Results: A total of 666 children (389 males and 277 females) were included. All nine formulas showed a strong positive correlation with the "gold standard." Underestimation was observed with the Banerjee and Bhattacharya, Fujimoto and Watanabe formulas. The Gehan and George formula showed overestimation. Values estimated from the Haycock and Mosteller formulas were the closest to the mean BSA. Conclusion: The Haycock and Mosteller formulas are the most recommended formulas for Chinese children with hematological malignancies.
