Brain structural changes in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty: a voxel-based morphometry and surface-based morphometry analysis.

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 aimed to investigate brain structural alterations in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and surface-based morphometry (SBM), and to explore associations between these changes and clinical indicators to elucidate the impact of ICPP on brain structure and uncover its underlying mechanisms. Materials and methods: Fifty-two girls aged 6-8 years with ICPP and 50 age-matched non-ICPP girls underwent 3.0 T MRI T1-weighted imaging. Structural data were analyzed using SPM12 and CAT12. A two-sample t-test assessed differences in global and regional brain volumes and cortical thickness. Correlation analyses explored relationships between structural alterations and clinical indicators. Results: (1) The ICPP group showed increased total intracranial volume, white matter volume, and cerebrospinal fluid volume, but decreased gray matter volume ( Conclusions: VBM and SBM effectively identify brain structural changes in ICPP girls, particularly in regions related to motor control, emotion, and cognition. These alterations, linked to hormonal levels, may serve as imaging biomarkers and offer insights into the neurobiological impact of ICPP.
