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

objectivesThis meta-analysis aimed to assess circulating adipokine levels in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) and compare them with those in healthy controls.

methodsAn exhaustive literature search was conducted, using the Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases, from the inception of the study to October 31, 2023, to identify relevant studies. Studies comparing the serum levels of adiponectin, leptin, irisin, apelin, omentin,chemerin, resistin, vaspin, and visfatin in girls with CPP and healthy girls of the same age were included. The findings were summarized in Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation evidence profiles and synthesized qualitatively.

resultsEleven studies that included 701 girls with CPP and 590 healthy girls were analyzed after the selection process. Leptin levels were significantly increased, whereas adiponectin levels were decreased in girls with CPP. Irisin levels did not change significantly. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses indicated that the heterogeneity in the association of leptin with CPP might be due to factors such as the number of cases, diagnostic criteria for CPP, and measurement methods.

conclusionsAdipokines levels were altered in girls with CPP compared with those in healthy controls. Preventing obesity in children and adolescents with CPP is crucial. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022371490. IMPACT: This meta-analysis is the first to explore the relationship between adipokines and central precocious puberty. The results of this systematic review provide evidence that adipokines levels are altered in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) compared with those in healthy controls. CPP in girls increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Preventing obesity in children and adolescents, especially in those with precocious puberty, is crucial.
