Effect of Growth Hormone Treatment on Growth Rates in Patients With Growth Hormone Deficiency, Idiopathic Short Stature, and Small for Gestational Age.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine the response to growth hormone (GH) therapy of patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), idiopathic short stature (ISS), and small for gestational age (SGA). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe data of the 202 children who received GH treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Laboratory parameters, puberty stages, annual growth rates, body mass index (BMI), GH side effects, target height (TH), estimated adult height (EAH), and bone age (BA) were obtained during the GH treatment period.
resultsOut of 202 cases, 121 were girls (59.9%) and 81 were boys. Among these cases, 69 (34.1%) had partial growth hormone deficiency (PGHD), 43 (21.2%) had complete growth hormone deficiency (CGHD), 37 (18.3%) had ISS, and 53 (26.2%) were born SGA. The average age at the onset of treatment was 11.2±2.67 years. The height standard deviation score (SDS), height velocity, and predicted adult height (PAH) of the patients with PGHD, CGHD, and SGA values were significantly higher than ISS patients at the end of the third year of a similar dose of GH treatment. The highest growth velocity was determined in the group with CGHD, while the lowest height velocity was found in patients with ISS during three years of the treatment.
conclusionIt was determined that GH treatment is an efficient and reliable therapy method for improving short stature in patients with PGHD, CGHD, ISS, and SGA. We observed a higher growth rate in patients with PGHD, CGHD, and SGA than in the ISS group with standard dose GH treatment.
