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

objectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic value of luteinizing hormone (LH) and LH/follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio at 60 min after gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) stimulation test for central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls.

methodsTwo hundred and fifty-seven girls, aged 3 to 7.5 y, suspected of precocious puberty at authors' hospital from April 2020 through November 2023 were enrolled in the study. The blood was taken at 0, 30, 60 min after GnRHa stimulation test, and LH and LH/FSH were detected by chemiluminescence assay. The diagnostic efficacy was analysed by Mann-Whitney U test, spearman's correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The proportion of obesity was analysed by Chi-square test.

resultsLH and LH/FSH at different times were statistically significantly different (P <0.05) between the CPP and non-CPP groups. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that the level of LH and LH/FSH at 60 min had the strongest consistency with the peak of LH (r = 0.9988, P <0.001) and LH/FSH (r = 0.9981, P <0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curves at 60 min of LH and LH/FSH were 0.975 and 0.997 with a cut-off value of 5.70 IU/L and 0.609, respectively.

conclusionsThe peak of LH and LH/FSH in the diagnosis of CPP can be determined by LH and LH/FSH at 60 min after the triptorelin acetate is injected. This will reduce the number of blood draws required compared with the traditional stimulation test, which is more effective and acceptable for children.
