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

purposeBone mineral density (BMD) impairment is one of the critical factors for long-term quality of life in adults growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). This study aims to investigate the annual changes in BMD in AGHD patients with different ages of onset and to identify predicting factors that influence BMD.

methodsAGHD patients (n = 160) with available data for 4 years follow-up from a major tertiary medical center in China were retrospectively included (110 [68.8%] childhood-onset, 119 [74.4%] male). BMD of the axial bone (including total hip, neck of femur, and L1-4) derived from dual X-ray absorptiometry and final height were investigated at the first visit, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 48 months thereafter. Low BMD was defined as Z-score ≤ -2.

resultsThe prevalence of low BMD was 30.0% at baseline and 12.5% at 4 years of follow-up. The CO AGHD group presented a significantly lower BMD than the AO AGHD group at the baseline (P = 0.009). In contrast, the CO AGHD group had significantly greater median annual BMD change than the AO AGHD group (0.044 vs. -0.0003 g/cm

conclusionThe annual changes of BMD show a different pattern in AGHD patients with varying ages of onset. Patients with CO AGHD have a lower bone mass, and in general, appropriate replacement therapy is necessary for long-term bone health in AGHD patients.
