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
Background: Different types of bones develop and mature with distinct characteristics under the influence of different endocrine factors. However, comparative investigations of bone age (BA) disparities among diverse endocrine disorders remain limited. This study was designed to compare and analyze BA in children with different endocrine conditions and to explore the effect of disease on various types of skeletal maturity. Methods: Five groups of children with the following diagnoses who underwent BA X-ray examination were retrospectively included: growth hormone deficiency (GHD, 43 cases), central precocious puberty (CPP, 89 cases), hormone-dependent or drug-resistant idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS, 49 cases) treated with glucocorticoid for more than 1 year, craniopharyngioma (25 cases), and healthy controls (39 cases). The children's BA in each group was assessed using the Chinese 05 method and compared to their chronological age. Results: The GHD and INS groups had delayed BA relative to physiological age. The delayed C-series results were statistically significant (2.09±1.03, 2.20±1.43 years, P<0.05), and the difference in R-C BA was statistically significant. In the craniopharyngioma group, the delayed results of the R and C series were statistically significant (2.04±1.13, 2.70±1.16 years, P<0.05). In the CPP group, the BA of R and C series were advanced (1.58±0.63, 0.86±0.74 years, P<0.05), and the difference of R-C BA was statistically significant (0.71±0.38, P<0.05). The BA results were statistically significant in all four groups of patients compared to those of healthy controls. Conclusions: Considering the R and C series of BA and the difference between the two will help to diagnose endocrine disorders and assess therapeutic efficacy.
