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

purposeThis study aimed to present recent trends in the pubertal timing of a Greek female sample.

methodsData were collected retrospectively from medical records of healthy females aged 6-18 years who attended a tertiary Adolescent Friendly Health Center over a 5-year period (2016-2020) and included gestational age, birth anthropometrics, and age of thelarche and/or pubarche and/or menarche, along with corresponding anthropometric, hormonal, and biochemical measurements.

resultsData from 298 girls' medical records were included in the analysis. Median age at menarche, thelarche, and pubarche was 12, 9, and 9 years, respectively. The mean interval between pubertal onset and menarche was 1.99 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) at menarche and thelarche was 20.99 kg/m

conclusionThe timing of pubertal stages in the Greek female sample studied followed the recent international downward trends. Younger age at menarche was not related to BMI.
