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
Introduction: This study aimed to distinguish isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) from constitutional delay in growth and puberty (CDGP) by various hormonal tests in both sexes. Methods: Boys with testicular volume (TV) <4 ml (14-18 years) and girls with breast B Results: Of 34 children (male: 22 and female: 12), CDGP and IHH were diagnosed in 21 and 13 children, respectively. 4 hours post-triptorelin LH had the highest sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) for identifying IHH in both sexes. Basal inhibin B had good sensitivity (male: 85.7% and female: 83.8%) and specificity (male: 93.3% and female: 100%) for diagnosing IHH. 24 hours post-triptorelin testosterone (<34.5 ng/dl), day 4 post-HCG testosterone (<99.7 ng/dl) and 24 hours post-triptorelin oestradiol (<31.63 pg/ml) had reasonable sensitivity and specificity for identifying IHH. Basal LH, FSH and AMH were poor discriminators for IHH in both sexes. Conclusion: The best indicator was post-triptorelin 4-hour LH followed by inhibin B, which had a reasonable diagnostic utility to distinguish IHH from CDGP in both boys and girls.
