Relationship between the Stimulated Peak Growth Hormone Level and Metabolic Parameters in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency.
Article in Ewha medical journal, 2023. 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
Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between the stimulated peak growth hormone (PGH) level and comprehensive metabolic markers for glucose and lipid metabolism, and liver steatosis in prepubertal children with GH deficiency (GHD). Methods: Sixty-nine prepubertal children with GHD were divided into overweight/obesity (body mass index [BMI]≥85th percentile) and normal BMI groups. The associations between PGH level and metabolic parameters including homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profiles, AST, and ALT were evaluated. Results: The LDL cholesterol level was significantly higher in the overweight/obesity group than in the normal BMI group. PGH level was negatively associated with the BMI SD score (SDS) (r=-0.26, P=0.029) and ALT (r=-0.36, P=0.004) levels, whereas it was positively associated with the HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) level (r=0.38, P=0.002). In multivariate analyses, PGH level was positively associated with HDL-C level (P=0.002) and negatively associated with ALT level (P=0.028) after adjusting for age, sex, BMI SDS, HOMA-IR, and TG level. Conclusion: PGH level in pre-pubertal children with GHD was positively and negatively associated with HDL-C and ALT, respectively, even if they were within normal range, regardless of BMI.
