Age-specific Contributions to Height in Boys with Klinefelter Syndrome: Analysis of Growth Using the QEPS Model.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Increased height is a characteristic of Klinefelter syndrome (KS). Detailed evaluation of growth patterns in boys and adolescents carrying a 47,XXY karyotype is lacking. Objective: To delineate detailed growth patterns during the different growth phases and their contribution to the increased adult height in boys with KS. Methods: Longitudinal data on growth from 55 boys with KS were compared with a reference from the GrowUp Results: The infant growth period was shorter with a lower height gain ( Conclusion: The boys with KS exhibited a different growth pattern as compared with a healthy reference population, with less and shorter growth in infant life and more basic growth during childhood and the pubertal years (the Q-function growth by the QEPS model), resulting in taller adult height.
