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

Introduction: The health consequences of lactose intolerance remain unclear. We studied the association of lactose intolerance with growth in children. Methods: In this prospective case-control study, we compared Caucasian prepubertal children with lactose intolerance (LI) [ Results: We found no difference in height velocity SDS between the LI and control groups [SDS difference (95% CI): 0.52 (-1.86 to 2.90)]. In addition, we found a significant reduction in the clinical score of the LI group after a lactose-free diet [median (5%-95%): 7.5 (4.0-15.0) and 3 (0.0-8.0); Conclusions: The LI group exhibited no difference in height velocity compared with the control group. Nonetheless, due to the small sample size, the results on the anthropometric profile of the LI group require careful interpretation. More large-scale studies in the pediatric population are required to better understand the association of LI with anthropometric and metabolic profiles.
