A Personalized Approach to Determining the Caloric Needs of Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome Treated with Growth Hormone.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most frequent cause of genetic obesity. Early reports indicate that children with PWS require 20-40% fewer calories than healthy children to maintain adequate growth. Growth hormone treatment for children with PWS, approved in 2000, affects the body composition and probably affects energy requirements. This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed the caloric intake in children with PWS aged from 6 months to 12 years old who underwent growth hormone treatment, comparing the patients' caloric intake calculated from parent-recorded dietary intake versus the recommended caloric intake for healthy children, taking into account the age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity. We analyzed the data from 25 patients (13 (52%) boys; mean age, 6.72 ± 2.81 y; median age at starting growth hormone treatment, 1.4 y (IQR: 0.78-2.29); 17 (68%) normal weight and 8 (32%) overweight or obese). The mean daily energy intake was 1208 ± 186 kcal/d, representing 96.83% ± 18.66 of the recommended caloric intake for healthy children. The caloric intake in children with PWS treated with growth hormone was very similar to that recommended for healthy children; thus, we should rethink the dietary recommendations for these children.
