The impact of juvenile hypothyroidism on stature.
Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Short stature with different alterations in the skeletal appearance usually results from juvenile hypothyroidism. The present case-control study was conducted to assess the effect of thyroid hormone deficiency on the height of young people and the prevalence of short stature in juvenile hypothyroidism. The research was conducted at the Al-Waffa Diabetic Centre between May and September 2022. The study group included 90 children with short stature, while the control group included 58 children. The statistical analysis was conducted using Minitab version 20. The results revealed that a low serum level of triiodothyronine (T3) was present in 2.2% of participants, while a low serum level of thyroxin (T4) was present in 36.7%. All subjects had elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Female children had increased rates of short stature. Juvenile hypothyroidism results in various skeletal manifestations, including reduced height. Low serum thyroxin coupled with high serum thyroid stimulating hormone are common findings in juvenile hypothyroidism.
