Autonomous growth hormone secretion due to McCune Albright syndrome in paediatric age group: an ominous triad.

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
purposeThe current study aimed to report cases of McCune Albright syndrome (MAS) with growth hormone (GH) hyper secretion along with a systematic review of literature to elucidate challenges and intricacies in its diagnosis and management.
methodsIt was a single centre study carried out in individuals with MAS and autonomous GH secretion (AGHS). In addition, a systematic search of literature across three databases (PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE) was performed from inception until May 31, 2021 to identify cases of MAS with AGHS in the pediatric age group (<18 years).
resultsThree cases from authors centre and 42 cases identified from systematic literature review were analysed. Precocious puberty was the most common presenting endocrinopathy seen in 56.8% (25/44) cases, followed by hyperthyroidism (10/45), hypophosphatemia (4/45), and hypercortisolism (2/45). Cranio-facial fibrous dysplasia (CFFD) was seen in all while polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and Café au lait macule was seen in 40/45 (88.9%) and 35/45 (77.8%), respectively. Pituitary adenoma (58.3% microadenoma) was localized in 53.3% (24/45) cases on pituitary imaging. Biochemical and clinical remission of AGHS was achieved in 61.5% (24/45) cases with medical therapy.
conclusionDiagnosing AGHS in MAS is challenging because of concomitant presence of CFFD, non-GH endocrinopathies associated height spurt and elevated serum IGF-1. GH-GTT should be performed in presence of elevated growth velocity and serum IGF-1 (>1 X ULN) despite adequate control of non-GH endocrinopathies. Medical management can lead to disease control in substantial number of cases and often entails use of multiple agents.
