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

Background: Short stature is a global health-related problem and remains to be evaluated in children in Hainan Province. The present study was conducted to investigate the associated factors with short-stature in children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a staged, cluster random sampling method. A total of 26,189 children aged 3-18 years, originating from 18 cities and counties in Hainan Province, to determine the prevalence of short stature. Additionally, these children were selected for a thorough analysis of associated factors. Results: The crude prevalence of short stature was 2.88%, and the standard prevalence was (after adding weights) 3.01%. Children's short stature was significantly related to seven factors: area, birth weight, body mass index z score (BAZ), maternal education, family income (RMB per year), frequency of bean intake and frequency of egg intake. A nomogram model of factors associated with short stature was constructed. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.698 (95% CI: 0.679-0.716). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that birth weight, BAZ, dietary habits, and family-related factors were strongly correlated with short stature in children in Hainan Province.
