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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment on final height outcomes in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) from the start of treatment to their postmenarche visit.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 200 girls with idiopathic CPP who received GnRHa therapy, focusing on auxological and clinical outcomes at treatment initiation, treatment completion, and the last, postmenarche visit.

resultsThe mean chronological age (CA) at GnRHa treatment initiation was 8.24±0.73 years. The mean duration of GnRHa treatment was 3.12±0.81 years. The average age at menarche was 12.73±0.56 years, occurring a mean of 17.15±5.52 months after completing GnRHa therapy. The predicted adult height (PAH) standard deviation score (SDS) after menarche (0.48±0.99) was significantly greater than before treatment (-1.33±1.46) (P<0.001). Factors including greater bone age advancement (P<0.001), lower height SDS for CA at treatment initiation (P<0.001), and higher midparental height SDS (P=0.001) were positively associated with an increase in PAH SDS at the last visit. However, near-final height and the increase in PAH SDS at the last visit were not significantly different between patients who received early treatment (<8 years) and those who received later treatment (8-9 years).

conclusionGnRHa treatment improved the final height outcomes in all girls with CPP, including those treated between 8 and 9 years of age.
