Fertility preservation methods in children with the risk of female hypogonadism - possibilities and limitations.
Review in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2025. 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
Cancer diseases and their treatment, genetic diseases, metabolic and autoimmune disorders, hormonal treatment of transgender people with assigned female sex can lead to early female hypogonadism and ultimately to infertility. Diagnosis of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis failure is based on hormonal tests (anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, sex hormones) and imaging studies (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging), but methods for predicting the loss of gonadal function require further refinement. From the patient's perspective, it is important to ensure the possibility of preserving material for use in possible future assisted reproduction procedures. Currently, the only technique that works well in prepubertal girls is ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC). The aim of this work is to analyze current methods of preserving fertility in girls and adolescents, their indications, limitations and directions of development. A review of the literature was done using the following keywords: children, adolescents, fertility preservation and studies published between 2020 and 2025. Included were meta-analyses, clinical trials, and systematic reviews. The most advanced method for girls remains OTC, with over 200 documented births, including after prepubertal procedures. Gonadal reserve assessment is based on hormonal tests and imaging. Fertility preservation in children requires an interdisciplinary approach, early diagnosis, and further development of techniques. Establishing standardized procedures and ensuring equal access to care are essential.
