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
introductionYouth decision-making involvement (DMI) regarding growth hormone (GH) may be beneficial. Identification of correlates of DMI may inform the development of strategies to encourage youth involvement and enhance self-efficacy. The goal of this study was to examine the associations of DMI regarding GH treatment with youth and parent characteristics.
methodYouth, aged 8-14 years (34% female), undergoing GH stimulation testing and a parent (94% mothers) completed surveys at the time of testing (Visit 1; 2019-2023); the Decision-Making Involvement Scale was completed 3 months later. Surveys collected demographics; decision-making involvement; youth coping skills, parent social support; parent autonomy support; parental perceived worry, scarcity, and instability regarding the child's current/future environments; and parents' achievement goals for their child. Correlations and multivariable linear regressions were used to identify factors significantly associated with Decision-Making Involvement Scale subscales.
resultsThe analysis included 44 parents who indicated that a decision about GH was made and that they discussed the decision with the youth, as well as 30 youth who remembered having such a discussion. On multivariable modeling, youth who had more engaged coping skills and parents who perceived resources in the world as scarce reported higher youth DMI. Parents with older children, less worry about their children being out in the world, and less desire for the child to avoid activities that he/she might not do well in reported higher youth DMI. DISCUSSION: Parental worry and youth coping may be important targets of intervention when seeking to facilitate youth involvement in GH-related decision making.
