PREMATURITY, SGA, OBESITY AND RAPID WEIGHT GAIN AS KEY FACTORS IN PREMATURE ADRENARCHE: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY IN TURKISH GIRLS.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Context: Premature adrenarche (PA) is linked to prematurity, small for gestational age (SGA), and rapid weight gain. Understanding these factors is important for early identification and management of PA. Objective: To evaluate the impact of prematurity, SGA, obesity, and rapid weight gain on the development of PA in Turkish girls. Design: A retrospective review of medical records from girls diagnosed with PA between 2015 and 2020. Subjects and methods: A total of 104 girls diagnosed with PA were included. Clinical data, including birth weight, gestational age, body mass index (BMI), and hormone levels (DHEA-S), were analyzed. The relationships between PA and prematurity, SGA, obesity, and rapid weight gain (delta weight SDS) were assessed. Results: Of the 104 patients, 14.4% were born prematurely, 28.8% were SGA, and 30.5% were overweight or obese. A positive correlation was observed between delta weight SDS and DHEA-S levels (r=0.523, p<0.01). While obesity was not significantly associated with elevated DHEA-S levels, rapid weight gain was a key factor. Conclusions: Prematurity and SGA are significant risk factors for PA, with rapid weight gain playing a critical role. Monitoring weight gain in SGA and premature infants is essential to mitigate PA-related risks.
