Considerations for Anthropometry Specific to People with Disproportionate Short Stature.
Review in Advances in therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In the clinical care of people with disproportionate short stature, healthcare practitioners need to accurately collect anthropometric measurements over time, including height, weight, head circumference, and lengths of affected limb and body segments. Accurate anthropometric measurements are important for diagnostic evaluation, tracking growth, measuring response to pharmacologic therapies or surgeries, and monitoring for potential complications. However, for this clinical population, anthropometric measurements may need to be adjusted or modified to accommodate characteristics such as body disproportions, joint contractures, long bone deformities, spinal deformities, or muscle hypotonia. This article provides guidance for key anthropometric measurements in children and adults with disproportionate short stature, with a focus on people with achondroplasia. The measurements described in this article and illustrated in the infographics can be performed without expensive specialized equipment and are suitable for a variety of clinical settings.
