Diffusion tensor imaging shows increased physis organization after growth hormone initiation in hypophosphatasia.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hypophosphatasia is a rare heritable disorder of bone mineralization, with a spectrum of severity based on age of initial presentation. We describe the case of a 14-year-old boy with gene-confirmed inherited hypophosphatasia and growth hormone deficiency, who presented with short stature, unremarkable radiographs, and only minor physeal and metaphyseal changes on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) before growth hormone initiation revealed abundant, non-parallel tracts in the physes and metaphyses with loss of the typical columnar organization. After 8 months of growth hormone treatment, DTI scans revealed realigned, nearly parallel, longer physeal tracts; duplication of tract volume; and decreased and more typical fractional anisotropy values. DTI can thus visualize physeal tract changes over time, could be a more sensitive diagnostic technique in milder physeal abnormality cases, and may be a potential marker of growth hormone treatment response.
