Gynecomastia.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Enlargement of breasts among boys is termed gynecomastia. This could be due to an alteration in the androgen-estrogen ratio along with the effects of other hormones including growth hormone, insulin like growth factor 1, prolactin, and other factors affecting aromatase enzyme. The common causes of gynecomastia are pubertal gynecomastia, obesity, drugs and hypogonadism. Several other diseases including liver or renal failure, thyrotoxicosis, Klinefelter syndrome, tumors and environmental pollutants can cause gynecomastia. History and clinical examination will help formulate targeted investigations and management. The factors to be evaluated in these include examination of breasts and testes, in addition to other parts of systemic examination. Treatment of underlying disorders can improve gynecomastia, such as use of testosterone in hypogonadism. Some boys may not need any intervention as gynecomastia may resolve on its own. Medical management is useful in simple gynecomastia. Tamoxifen has been tried successfully in adolescents with gynecomastia. Other drugs including clomiphene, danazol, letrozole and anastrozole have not been consistently useful in this age group. In severe chronic gynecomastia, surgery is the treatment of choice.
